    prandom: introduce prandom_bytes() and prandom_bytes_state() · 6582c665

    Add functions to get the requested number of pseudo-random bytes.
    
    The difference from get_random_bytes() is that it generates pseudo-random
    numbers by prandom_u32().  It doesn't consume the entropy pool, and the
    sequence is reproducible if the same rnd_state is used.  So it is suitable
    for generating random bytes for testing.
