sort(1): Simplify and bound random seeding

Browse Source 
Bound input file processing length to avoid the issue reported in [1].  For
simplicity, only allow regular file and character device inputs.  For
character devices, only allow /dev/random (and /dev/urandom symblink).

32 bytes of random is perfectly sufficient to seed MD5; we don't need any
more.  Users that want to use large files as seeds are encouraged to truncate
those files down to an appropriate input file via tools like sha256(1).

(This does not change the sort algorithm of sort -R.)
