/* Read random bytes:

   Used sources of entropy ordered by preference, preferred source first:

   - CryptGenRandom() on Windows
   - getrandom() function (ex: Linux and Solaris): call py_getrandom()
   - getentropy() function (ex: OpenBSD): call py_getentropy()
   - /dev/urandom device

   Read from the /dev/urandom device if getrandom() or getentropy() function
   is not available or does not work.

   Prefer getrandom() over getentropy() because getrandom() supports blocking
   and non-blocking mode: see the PEP 524. Python requires non-blocking RNG at
   startup to initialize its hash secret, but os.urandom() must block until the
   system urandom is initialized (at least on Linux 3.17 and newer).

   Prefer getrandom() and getentropy() over reading directly /dev/urandom
   because these functions don't need file descriptors and so avoid ENFILE or
   EMFILE errors (too many open files): see the issue #18756.

   Only the getrandom() function supports non-blocking mode.

   Only use RNG running in the kernel. They are more secure because it is
   harder to get the internal state of a RNG running in the kernel land than a
   RNG running in the user land. The kernel has a direct access to the hardware
   and has access to hardware RNG, they are used as entropy sources.

   Note: the OpenSSL RAND_pseudo_bytes() function does not automatically reseed
   its RNG on fork(), two child processes (with the same pid) generate the same
   random numbers: see issue #18747. Kernel RNGs don't have this issue,
   they have access to good quality entropy sources.

   If raise is zero:

   - Don't raise an exception on error
   - Don't call the Python signal handler (don't call PyErr_CheckSignals()) if
     a function fails with EINTR: retry directly the interrupted function
   - Don't release the GIL to call functions.
