6a5dfebd41 Require getrandom(2).
It's almost 2018, Linux 3.17 -- the first kernel with getrandom(2) --
was released in October 2014, and being able to assume getrandom lets
us simplify and improve some security-related code in libc, and revert a
hack to getentropy that's been necessary in the meantime. Only the fugu
kernel doesn't have getrandom(2) at this point, and that's EOL.

8465e968a8 Add <sys/random.h>.
iOS 10 has <sys/random.h> with getentropy, glibc >= 2.25 has
<sys/random.h> with getentropy and getrandom. (glibc also pollutes
<unistd.h>, but that seems like a bad idea.)

Also, all supported devices now have kernels with the getrandom system
call.

We've had these available internally for a while, but it seems like the
time is ripe to expose them.
