    random: Treat writes to /dev/random as separate from /entropy
    
    RANDOM_CACHED is overloaded to refer both to entropy obtained from files
    loaded by the boot loader, and entropy obtained via writes to
    /dev/random.  Introduce a new source, RANDOM_RANDOMDEV, to refer to the
    latter.  This is to enable treating RANDOM_CACHED as a special case in
    the NIST health test implementation.
    
    Update the default harvest_mask in rc.conf to include RANDOM_RANDOMDEV,
    preserving the old behaviour of accepting writes to /dev/random.
    
    Bump __FreeBSD_version for modules which register a pure source, since
    all of their values have now shifted.
