Previously, AutoRNG was just a reference to the global rng, which can

cause a huge amount of lock contention in heavily multithreaded
code. Now each AutoRNG is its own uniquely seeded HMAC_RNG. The set of
entropy sources is shared rather than being per-RNG (so there is only
one open fd to /dev/random, etc). So reseeding is still a global lock,
but sharing the resources (open file descriptors, etc) across RNGs
seems worth the contention.

Remove Randpool, which was only used if HMAC_RNG was disabled at build.
