The documentation says that sodium_pad uses random data, but it actually follows a simple algorithm where the first padded byte is `0x80` and the rest are just `0x00`. This replaces the incorrect documentation with a simple description of the correct algorithm. Reported-By: Christophe Diederichs <chris.d.itunes@gmail.com> Link: sodium-friends#3
