Add random directory sampling policy

Raphaël Gomès requested to merge generated-differential-D8539-source into master

This makes use of the new discovery algorithm introduced in swh-loader-core, which should help speed up large (think Linux kernel or way larger) scans.

Most of the time is spend walking the on-disk directory and hashing, which is where the new optimizations in swh-model==6.5.0 should come in handy. Python is close to its limit in that regard, some future endeavor should look into setting up SWH for native extensions.
