Pull request description:

  This requires a linux kernel of `3.17`+, which seems entirely
  reasonable. `3.17` went EOL in 2015, and the last supported `3.x` kernel
  (`3.16`) went EOL > 4 years ago, in 2020. For reference, the current
  oldest maintained kernel is `4.14` (released 2017, going EOL Jan 2024).

  Support for `getrandom()` (and `getentropy()`) was added to
  glibc `2.25` https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/libc-alpha/2017-02/msg00079.html:
  > * The getentropy and getrandom functions, and the <sys/random.h> header
    file have been added.

  and we already require `2.27` or later.

  All that being said, I don't think you would encounter a current day (+~6 months from now)
  system, running with kernel headers older than 3.17 (released 2014) but also having a
  glibc of 2.27+ (released 2018)?

  Removing this (our only) use of `syscall()` also means we can drop a workaround in our MSAN jobs.
  If this is merged, I'll drop the [same workaround in oss-fuzz](25946a5448/projects/bitcoin-core/build.sh (L49-L56)).
