cem 4c9fe04250 rand(3): Replace implementation with one backed by random(3) algorithm 
rand(3)'s standard C API is extremely limiting, but we can do better
than the historical 32-bit state Park-Miller LCG we've shipped since
2001: r73156.

The justification provided at the time for not using random(3) was that
rand_r(3) could not be made to use the same algorithm.  That is still
true.  However, the irrelevance of rand_r(3) is increasingly obvious.
Since that time, POSIX has marked the interface obsolescent.  rand_r(3)
never became part of the standard C library.  If not for API
compatibility reasons, I would just remove rand_r(3) entirely.

So, I do not believe it is a problem for rand_r(3) and rand(3) to
diverge.

The 12 ABI is maintained with compatibility definitions, but this
revision does subtly change the API of rand(3).  The sequences of
pseudorandom numbers produced in programs built against new versions of
libc will differ from programs built against prior versions of libc.
