Add RAND_set_urandom_fd.
Chromium uses a zygote process and a sandbox on Linux. In order for RAND_bytes
to be functional and guaranteed fork-safe inside the renderers, /dev/urandom
must be prewarmed. Calling RAND_bytes initializes a thread-local ChaCha20 key
when rdrand is available. So that key is fork-safe and to avoid tempting any
dragons by touching pthreads APIs before a non-exec fork, add a
RAND_set_urandom_fd API. It allows the consumer to supply the /dev/urandom fd
and promises to be fork-safe, both in initializing key material and use of
pthreads.
This doesn't affect any current shipping versions of Chrome.
