Use getentropy() if arc4random_buf() is not available
This allows to fix CVE-2017-2625 on Linux platforms without pulling in libbsd. The libc getentropy() is available since glibc 2.25 but also on OpenBSD. For Linux, we need at least a v3.17 kernel. If the recommended arc4random_buf() function is not available, emulate it by first trying to use getentropy() on a supported glibc and kernel. If the call fails, fall back to the current (vulnerable) code.
