docs: formatdomain: Mention that 'urandom' is the recommended RNG backend

Since libvirt 1.3.4, any RNG source is accepted for the 'random'
backend.  However, '/dev/urandom' is the _recommended_ source of
entropy. Therefore we should mention that in the docs.

This backend type expects a non-blocking character device as
input. The file name is specified as contents of the

any path is accepted. Before that /dev/random and /dev/hwrng were
