One bug fixed: Use getmicrouptime() to trigger reseeds so that we
cannot be tricked by a clock being stepped backwards.
Express parameters in natural units and with natural names.
Don't use struct timeval more than we need to.
Various stylistic and readability polishing.
Introduce arc4rand(void *ptr, u_int len, int reseed) function which
returns a stream of pseudo-random bytes, observing the automatic
reseed criteria as well as allowing forced reseeds.
Rewrite arc4random() in terms of arc4rand().

- Decrease reseeding interval from every 64 to every 16384 runs
to reduce entropy usage.
- Add time based reseeding. (Every 5 minutes.)
- Throw away the first 256 words of output as suggested in
"Weaknesses in the Key Scheduling Algorithm of RC4."

MFC After: jkh says ok
(kern.randompid), which is currently defaulted off. Use ARC4 (RC4) for our
random number generation, which will not get me executed for violating
crypto laws; a Good Thing(tm).
