v.random, restrict output

[leonidas]

v.random needs an option that will place the random points into the polygons (if the constraining map is a polygon vector map) or along lines (if the constraining map is a polyline vector map).

for the within-polygon case this is already covered by the v.random.cover module in grass-addons. (it's not the most efficient thing in the world, but it works. for more complicated tasks I'd probably use the R-stats interface)

v.random has restrict option in GRASS 7. Closing.
