Have Entropy_Accumulator dump everything into a BufferedComputation.

Since both Randpool and HMAC_RNG fed the input into a MAC anyway, this
works nicely. (It would be nicer to use tr1::function but, argh, don't
want to fully depend on TR1 quite yet. C++0x cannot come soon enough).
This avoids requiring to do run length encoding, it just dumps everything
as-is into the MAC. This ensures the buffer is not a potential narrow pipe
for the entropy (for instance, one might imagine an entropy source which
outputs one random byte every 16 bytes, and the rest some repeating pattern -
using a 16 byte buffer, you would only get 8 bits of entropy total, no matter
how many times you sampled).
