Rollup merge of rust-lang#66092 - niacat:master, r=nagisa
Use KERN_ARND syscall for random numbers on NetBSD, same as FreeBSD.
This system call is present on all supported NetBSD versions and provides an endless stream of non-blocking random data from the kernel's ChaCha20-based CSPRNG. It doesn't require a file like `/dev/urandom` to be opened.
The system call is documented here (under kern.arandom):
https://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?sysctl+7+NetBSD-7.0
And defined here:
https://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/sys/sys/sysctl.h#273
The semantics are the same as FreeBSD so reading 256 bytes per call is fine.
