random.3: Remove obsolete BUGS section
Relative performance to rand(3) is sort of irrelevant; they do different things and a user with sensitivity to RNG performance won't use libc random(3) anyway. The historical note about bad seeding is long obsolete, referring to a 1996 or earlier version of FreeBSD. Sponsored by: Dell EMC Isilon

The historical implementation used to have a very weak seeding; the

random sequence did not vary much with the seed.

The current implementation employs a better pseudo-random number

generator for the initial state calculation.
