Comment:

 Merged cpunk's patch as 71e55898438bcef88060d0d32fc4c6b31f2cc4aa.

 Fixed double-init in b6ec4d3a8ace6b49fb433f0d8e596c683ef6abee.

 Lowered mutex management in 6f12d0c3177f8aea706a3581ebf97f979a334858

 Fixed a never-actually-free-it bug in
 ac1b0027cdd5f261c21ff90f2648a5d2df179010

 Added glass-box tests in ce71dbfbccbc8c42739f2738fa8e01e9aa294675 and
 67f2154bc26917d70d57e43b7b543570395b2987.

 (The glass-box tests make sure all the deterministic parts work the way we
 would hope. They don't test that shake_prng_refill does exactly as it
 should, because that takes feedback from external RNGs.)
