Regression in nrandom hadling for rucio download
Motivation
----------
```
rucio download --nrandom 
```
Doesn't randomly pick files in a dataset/container anymore.

The regression was introduced in 8e08799653a0330daba27ccfddc10e8ad199a6e6 which re-used the "item" variable name for an internal loop. Resulting it to be overriden and item['nrandom'] doesn't return the correct value anymore. 

Modification
------------
nrandom should work again.
