Add entropy pool and strong random number generator

Entropy pool gathers environmental noise from device drivers, user-space, etc., and returns good random numbers, suitable for cryptographic use. Based on entropy pool design from *BSDs and uses BLAKE2Xs algorithm for CSPRNG output.

Patch also adds /dev/urandom support for using entropy pool RNG and new 'getrandom' system call for getting randomness without file-descriptor usage (thus avoiding file-descriptor exhaustion attacks). The 'getrandom' interface is similar as 'getentropy' and 'getrandom' available on OpenBSD and Linux respectively.
