Currently we free the default RNG when its use count hits zero.
This was OK when the IV generators would latch onto the RNG at
instance creation time and keep it until the instance is torn
down.
Now that IV generators only keep the RNG reference during init
time this scheme causes the default RNG to come and go at a high
frequencey. This is highly undesirable as we want to keep a single
RNG in use unless the admin wants it to be removed.
This patch changes the scheme so that the system RNG once allocated
is never removed unless a specifically requested.

Now that all rng implementations have switched over to the new
interface, we can remove the old low-level interface.

This patch adds the helpers that allow the registration and removal
of multiple RNG algorithms.

This patch adds the function crypto_rng_set_entropy. It is only
meant to be used by testmgr when testing RNG implementations by
providing fixed entropy data in order to verify test vectors.

This patch converts the low-level crypto_rng interface to the
"new" style.
This allows existing implementations to be converted over one-
by-one. Once that is complete we can then remove the old rng
interface.

This patch adds a random number generator interface as well as a
cryptographic pseudo-random number generator based on AES. It is
meant to be used in cases where a deterministic CPRNG is required.
One of the first applications will be as an input in the IPsec IV
generation process.
