[boost] [random] uniform_01 not usable in backwards compatible mode

Apologies for the minor flood of posts....

uniform_01 has a default constructor only (fine for the "new" interface), 
but for the old interface, the base class has a single arg constructor only 
and no default constructor.  In other words there's no way to construct a 
uniform_01 in backwards compatibility mode (when the first template arg is a 
distribution).

Also the traits selection class that switches between new and old interfaces 
should probably be documented (and not in detail{ namespace).

Cheers, John.
