Less chance of problems should the prototype ever change. This doesn't
make it any more or less a circular dependency. (It actually isn't;
crypto/chacha doesn't use crypto/rand and CMakeLists.txt actually puts
rand above chacha anyway.)

I mistakenly believed that only RDSEED could fail. However, the Intel
manuals state that RDRAND can fail too.
I can't actually observe it failing, even with all cores running RDRAND in a
tight loop. In any case, the ChaCha20 masking means that it wouldn't be
a big deal anyway.
Still, this change tests the carry flag after RDRAND and the code falls
back to |CRYPTO_sysrand| if RDRAND has a hiccup. (The Intel manuals
suggest[1] calling RDRAND in a loop, ten times, before considering it to
have failed. But a single failure appears to be such a rare event that
the complexity in the asm code doesn't seem worth it.)
This change also adds an asm function to fill a buffer with random data.
Otherwise the overhead of calling |CRYPTO_rdrand|, and bouncing the data
in and out of memory starts to add up.
Thanks to W. Mark Kubacki, who may have reported this. (There's some
confusion in the bug report.)

We can't actually catch this with MSan because it requires all code be
instrumented, so it needs a NO_ASM build which no disables that code. valgrind
doesn't notice either, possibly because there's some computation being done on
it. Still, we shouldn't use uninitialized memory.
Also get us closer to being instrumentable by MSan, but the runner tests will
need to build against an instrumented STL and I haven't tried that yet.

MSVC doesn't like |const size_t len| in a function definition where the
declaration was just |size_t len| without the |const|. Also, MSVC needs
declarations of parameterless functions to have a |void| parameter list.

OpenSSH, especially, does some terrible things that mean that it needs
the EVP_CIPHER structure to be exposed ☹. Damian is open to a better API
to replace this, but only if OpenSSL agree too. Either way, it won't be
happening soon.
