Now that the random range changes are committed I would like to
revisit this diff.
This fixes two issues with the parsing of random values:
1) Garbage after a random value is now detected. This fixes a bug
in the random range parsing that handles the optional final
number. For example:

Oh I see, it is actually picking a random minute and ignores steps,
so entries run

I've ben using ~/10 to randomly distribute four similar tasks so that
t
This fixes two issues with the parsing of random values:
1) A random value with a step is now rejected. For example:
~/10* * * * echo invalid
0~59/10 * * * * echo invalid
10~/10 * * * * echo invalid
~40/10 * * * * echo invalid
Previously, the '/' would just be discarde
