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.

don't define kill() with only _BSD_SOURCE. That's very
disappointing from GNU.

use CMSG_LEN where required in tryancilautoclose).
Also, good news: the sys/param.h inclusion in FreeBSD isn't necessary
anymore.

Only include MSG_WAITALL when it's tested nb, then.
Also test yet another fix for the tryancilautoclose FreeBSD problem.

as well use it on architectures that support it.

already. More tentative workarounds.

until buffer full or socket shutdown on BSD, *even if the socket is
nonblocking*. So I added an "okwaitall" sysdeps, and won't set
MSG_WAITALL on retarded systems.
