Clean up and modernize librandom.
Correct random number generation has historically been
suprisingly painful to achieve. There was no standard,
every system behaved in a subtly different way, and there
were a few userland initiatives to get decent randomness,
all incompatible of course.
The situation is a bit better now, we're heading towards
some standardization. The arc4random() series of functions
is a good API, and available on a lot of systems -
unfortunately not Linux, but on Linux the new getrandom()
makes using /dev/random obsolete.
So I removed the old crap in librandom, dropped EGD support,
dropped dynamic backend selection, made a single API series
(random_* instead of goodrandom_* and badrandom_*), added
an arc4random backend and a getrandom backend, and defaulted
to /dev/urandom backed up by SURF in the worst case. This
should be much smaller and logical. However, it's a major
API break, so the skarnet.org stack will be changed to
adapt.
