Per discussion on mahout-dev, starting a series of patches to unify code, 
starting with Pair. Simple enough, but, it snowballed a little bit:

- Now there is just org.apache.mahout.common.Pair
- I moved my LongPair implementation next to it for consistency
- But it depends on my RandomUtils, and doesn't make sense for a top-level 
package to depend downward like that, so moved it too -- since we discussed 
that this should probably get reused a little more too

- Then I saw that the LFUCache class needs a mutable Pair whereas the new 
variant is immutable. I judged it was better to actually modify LFUCache to not 
need mutability -- because in this case it ends up increasing performance as 
well: Rather than create and re-create Longs as counts, it uses a "mutable 
Long" -- AtomicLong. An array of one long would have done the trick too.
