Pull request description:

  This introduces a new `randomenv` module that queries varies non-cryptographic (and non-RNG) sources of entropy available on the system; things like user IDs, system configuration, time, statistics, CPUID data.

  The idea is that these provide a fallback in scenarios where system entropy is somehow broken (note that if system entropy *fails* we will abort regardless; this is only meant to function as a last resort against undetected failure). It includes some data sources OpenSSL currently uses, and more.

  The separation between random and randomenv is a bit arbitrary, but I felt that all this "non-essential" functionality deserved to be separated from the core random module.

  TheBlueMatt:
    utACK d1c02775aa. Certainly no longer measuring the time elapsed between a 1ms sleep (which got removed in the latest change) is a fair tradeoff for adding about 2 million other actually-higher-entropy bits :).

    ACK d1c02775aa
