Implement Jitter Entropy based random seed source using statically linked jitterentropy-library. This is desirable for those that don't control the OS provided entropy, and cannot assert if OS provides SP800-90B compliant getrandom(). Tested on Linux only, but in theory should be possible to port this to Windows and MacOS as well. Signed-off-by: Dimitri John Ledkov <dimitri.ledkov@surgut.co.uk>
