Implemented Top8 die rolls

In events with a swiss + top8 structure, top8 die rolls are random, as opposed to what happens on paper, where the highest seed chooses if they want to play first.
It would only be fair to implement this feature on mtgo as well, to reduce randomness in the single elimination portion of the event, with the additional upside of giving undefeated players a meaningful reason to play in the last round of swiss. I've seen many people ask for this feature for years: I hope that Daybreak can finally put this issue to rest :)

Right now the play/draw is decided by die roll, even in the top 8 of challenges+. This is opposed to paper where the play/draw is decided by standings and breakers in a top 8. It would be great to see this replicated on mtgo, I'm not sure what the best way of implementing this is. However, it might be possible to force the players in 1-4 place in the top cut to always roll 6.
