#13696: Use syscall-based entropy reading where possible.

-----------------------+------------------------------------
When we're setting up our CSPRNG, we should use syscalls where possible,
and ensure that we're using the "block if inadequately seeded" variant
whenever one exists.
See #10676 for an earlier version of this; but that isn't the sensible way
to do it at all. I'll start working on this once I have a linux that
supports getentropy().
