Subject: [PATCH] Use better fallbacks to generate cookies if arc4random_buf(3)
 is unavailable
References: bsc#1025084

If arc4random_buf() is not available for generating cookies:

- use getentropy(), if available (which was only recently added to
  glibc)
- use getrandom() via syscall(), if available (there was no glibc
  wrapper for this syscall for a long time)
- if all else fails, directly read from /dev/urandom as before, but
  employ O_CLOEXEC, do an OsAbort() in case the random data couldn't be
  read to avoid unsecure situations. Don't know if that's too hard a
  measure but it shouldn't actually occur except on maximum number of
  FDs reached
