.. versionadded:: 2.6
This filter can be used to generate a random MAC address from a string prefix.
To get a random MAC address from a string prefix starting with '52:54:00'::
"{{ '52:54:00'|random_mac }}"
# => '52:54:00:ef:1c:03'
Note that if anything is wrong with the prefix string, the filter will issue an error.
