Rely on /dev/urandom
This removes quite a bit of code. All reasonable systems have /dev/urandom
these days. Linux, Solaris and the BSDs do. In case we find a system
without /dev/urandom, we will have to go hunting in other libraries.
The main reason for this is speed: On Ubuntu 14.04 doing direct reads from
/dev/urandom is 2-3 times faster than our md4 based code. On virtualized
FreeBSD 10 the difference is even larger.
My first approach was to use fopen/fread. It was even faster, but less
than twice as fast. So I thought we could save the additional complexity
when having to deal with throwing away buffers when forking and the
additional memory footprint per process.
With this simple generate_random_buffer it will be easier to adapt new
syscalls to get randomness.
