This module uses whatever interface is available to procure
cryptographically random data from the system.

This is required to update www/p5-WWW-OAuth.
https://metacpan.org/release/DBOOK/WWW-OAuth-1.003


I looked at porting Crypt::SysRandom::XS, which would use arc4random as
its random source, but it then requires a new perl build system and six
new perl ports for that build systm.  I may send that in separately, but
this PP version that reads from /dev/urandom would let that proceed.
