given in random(4).

This includes updating of the relevant man pages, and no-longer-used
harvesting parameters.

Ensure that the pseudo-unit-test still does something useful, now also
with the "other" algorithm instead of Yarrow.

if desired.

Retire randomdev_none.c and introduce random_infra.c for resident
infrastructure. Completely stub out random(4) calls in the "without
DEV_RANDOM" case.

Add RANDOM_LOADABLE option to allow loadable Yarrow/Fortuna/LocallyWritten
algorithm.  Add a skeleton "other" algorithm framework for folks
to add their own processing code. NIST, anyone?

Retire the RANDOM_DUMMY option.

Build modules for Yarrow, Fortuna and "other".

Use atomics for the live entropy rate-tracking.

Convert ints to bools for the 'seeded' logic.

Move _write() function from the algorithm-specific areas to randomdev.c

Get rid of reseed() function - it is unused.

Tidy up the opt_*.h includes.

Update documentation for random(4) modules.

Fix test program (reviewers, please leave this).
