Use getentropy() for seeding PRNG

The getentropy function, found on Linux, OpenBSD, and recently also
FreeBSD, can be used to get random bytes to initialize the PRNG.  It
is similar to the traditional way of reading from /dev/urandom, but
being a system call rather than a special file, it doesn't suffer from
problems like running out of file descriptors, or failure when running
in a container where /dev/urandom may not be available.

Regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, Ok for trunk?

	* configure.ac: Check for getentropy.
	* intrinsics/random.c (getosrandom): Use getentropy if available.
	* config.h.in: Regenerated.
	* configure: Regenerated.
