diff from djm@ committed at his request:
introduce two new APIs for requesting strong random numbers:
arc4random_buf() - fill an arbitrary memory range with random numbers
arc4random_uniform() - return a uniformly distributed random number
below
a specified upper bound, avoiding the bias that comes from a naive
"arc4random() % upper_bound" construction.
these mirror similarly-named functions in the kernel;

- len is size_t, but n uses len and is an int. Matching those types
should be good, plus it prevents weird things from happening if
len > INT_MAX.
- Since n is now size_t, compare it against 0 instead of >= 0.
- temp is used to store individual bytes, so use char instead
(matches fp and tp).
- millert noted that the comma operator may not guarantee order of
execution, so replace with semicolons.
Found by lint, OK millert.

- make arc4random*() functions thread safe. Use a custom spinlock function
instead of the generic pthread macros since free(3) uses __arc4_getbyte()
when freeing small sized allocations and the generic pthread macros call
malloc(3).
- eliminate passing pointers to a static variable with global scope (rs)
for additional code clarity and reduction.
- shlib minor bumps for libc and libpthread due to new functions.
