e6bf9065af Remove pooling of PRNG state.
Prior to 82639e6f we used thread-local data for the PRNG state. That
change switched to using a mutex-protected pool instead in order to save
memory in heavily-threaded applications.

However, the pool mutex can get extremely hot in cases where the PRNG is
heavily used. 8e8f2504 was a short-term work around, but supporting both
modes is overly complex.

This change moves back to the state of the prior to 82639e6f. The best
way to review this is to diff the changed files against '82639e6f^' and
note that the only difference is a comment added in rand.c:

8e8f250422 Use thread-local storage for PRNG states if fork-unsafe buffering is enabled.
We switched from thread-local storage to a mutex-pool in 82639e6f53
because, for highly-threaded processes, the memory used by all the
states could be quite large. I had judged that a mutex-pool should be
fine, but had underestimated the PRNG requirements of some of our jobs.

This change makes rand.c support using either thread-locals or a
mutex-pool. Thread-locals are used if fork-unsafe buffering is enabled.
While not strictly related to fork-safety, we already have the
fork-unsafe control, and it's already set by jobs that care a lot about
PRNG performance, so fits quite nicely here.

808f832917 Run the comment converter on libcrypto.
crypto/{asn1,x509,x509v3,pem} were skipped as they are still OpenSSL
style.

e2568c41cb Tidy up some Windows compiler assumptions.
Someone tried to build us with Ubuntu's MinGW. This is too old to be
supported (the tests rather badly fail to build), but some of the fixes
will likely be useful for eventually building Clang for Windows
standalone too.

7784104dd8 Move much of rand/ into the FIPS module.
Support for platforms that we don't support FIPS on doesn't need to be
in the module. Also, functions for dealing with whether fork-unsafe
buffering is enabled are left out because they aren't implementing any
cryptography and they use global r/w state, making their inclusion
painful.
