Switch to using qcrypto_random_bytes() rather than rand() as
our source of randomness for the BCM2835 RNG.

If qcrypto_random_bytes() fails, we don't want to return the guest a
non-random value in case they're really using it for cryptographic
purposes, so the best we can do is a fatal error. This shouldn't
happen unless something's broken, though.

In theory we could implement this device's full FIFO and interrupt
semantics and then just stop filling the FIFO. That's a lot of work,
though, and doesn't really give a very nice diagnostic to the user
since the guest will just seem to hang.
