Log:
  random.3: Remove obsolete BUGS section
  
  Relative performance to rand(3) is sort of irrelevant; they do different things
  and a user with sensitivity to RNG performance won't use libc random(3) anyway.
  
  The historical note about bad seeding is long obsolete, referring to a 1996 or
  earlier version of FreeBSD.
