random_seed.c: prefer getrandom() / /dev/{,u}random over arc4random()

21

arc4random(3) is problematic to use during early boot, as it (as implemented by glibc or libbsd) uses getrandom(2) without the GRND_NONBLOCK flag, causing it to block until the kernel entropy...

random_seed.c: get_getrandom_seed(): use GRND_INSECURE if available

As explained in https://github.com/json-c/json-c/pull/832, getrandom(.., GRND_NONBLOCK) fails with EAGAIN if the Linux kernel random number pool is not yet initialized. The use case here is initializing the hash table seed...
