Randomized block selection for placement by drone

Describe the feature
A checkbox in the place widget "Randomize" which when enabled will make the drone to pick a random stack from the valid stacks in its inventory.
Reasons why it should be considered
This is an important feature for any build. Rarely do we want only a single block type in a build, but rather use a palette of different blocks. For example, in order to build a floor made of 80% stone and 20% andesite you would ensure that the drone/pc always has 4 stacks of stone and 1 stack on andesite in its inventory. With randomize enabled, the drone would pick one random stack of these 5 to take a block from and place in the world, for each block placed.
Additional details
I might take a stab at this and make a PR if I can find the time but that might not be possible for some time. I think the implementation should be very simple and straightforward. If implemented, I'd love to see it also backported to 1.20.1.
Maybe... but it was far from a trivial feature and isn't a simple backport (and 1.20 features are not a priority). So when I have time to do it...
