Change rand(3), random(3), drand48(3), lrand48(3), mrand48(3),
srand48(3) to return non-deterministic strong random values by
default, sourced from arc4random(3). New functions
srand_deterministic(3), srandom_deterministic(3),
seed48_deterministic(3) and lcong48_deterministic(3) are added
for cases where determinism needs to be requested. At resume
(or unhibernate) time, use a variety of methods to reseed the
random number generator. This also works on VMs which wake up
(if a wakeup event is seen).
