Do not use HP_TIMING_NOW for random bits
This patch removes the HP_TIMING_BITS usage for fast random bits and replace with clock_gettime (CLOCK_MONOTONIC). It has unspecified starting time and nano-second accuracy, so its randomness is significantly better than gettimeofday. Althoug it should incur in more overhead (specially for architecture that support hp-timing), the symbol is also common implemented as a vDSO. Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu, x86_64-linux-gnu, and i686-linux-gnu. I also checked on a i686-gnu build. * include/random-bits.h: New file. * resolv/res_mkquery.c [HP_TIMING_AVAIL] (RANDOM_BITS, (__res_context_mkquery): Remove usage hp-timing usage and replace with random_bits. * resolv/res_send.c [HP_TIMING_AVAIL] (nameserver_offset): Likewise. * sysdeps/posix/tempname.c [HP_TIMING_AVAIL] (__gen_tempname): Likewise.
