lagged_fibonacci_01_engine: is of type double, not uint

Description
The C++11 random engines require to return unsigned integer values.
The typedefs defined in lagged_fibonacci.hpp all have *double* for the UIntType, e.g.
typedef lagged_fibonacci_01_engine< double, 48, 607, 273 > lagged_fibonacci607;
Maybe the boost random engines don't require the samples to be unsigned integers? However, C++11 distributions might expect them to be, if so then this might cause incompatibility issues between boost random and C++11 random?

Boost.Random has always supported floating point generators. They were eventually removed from the standard proposal. These generators can only be used with the Boost.Random distributions.
