29e3b33a09 std::rand: make the windows OSRng more correct, remove some C++.
This lets the C++ code in the rt handle the (slightly) tricky parts of
random number generation: e.g. error detection/handling, and using the
values of the `#define`d options to the various functions.

39a69d323d std::rand: Add OSRng, ReaderRng wrappers around the OS RNG & generic Readers respectively.
The former reads from e.g. /dev/urandom, the latter just wraps any
std::rt::io::Reader into an interface that implements Rng.

This also adds Rng.fill_bytes for efficient implementations of the above
(reading 8 bytes at a time is inefficient when you can read 1000), and
removes the dependence on src/rt (i.e. rand_gen_seed) although this last
one requires implementing hand-seeding of the XorShiftRng used in the
scheduler on Linux/unixes, since OSRng relies on a scheduler existing to
be able to read from /dev/urandom.
