Randomly select and execute a component from the list of component
references set in the random field.

This component uses the standard Python random.choice function that
uses a uniform random distribution to select a choice.

- random:
  - say: Option 1
  - say: Option 2
  - say: Option 3
  - flow: flow.some_flow
    transfer: true
  - say: Option 4

Each item in the random field must contain a valid action field,
meaning the field takes an action spec which maps to the ActionComponentSpec
Python class. This allows you to execute any component.
