Add an arc4random implementation for use by evdns
Previously, evdns was at the mercy of the user for providing a good entropy source; without one, it would be vulnerable to various active attacks. This patch adds a port of OpenBSD's arc4random() calls to Libevent [port by Chris Davis], and wraps it up a little bit so we can use it more safely.

+ * Arc4 random number generator for OpenBSD.
+ *
+ * This code is derived from section 17.1 of Applied Cryptography,
+ * second edition, which describes a stream cipher allegedly
+ * compatible with RSA Labs "RC4" cipher (the actual description of
+ * which is a trade secret). The same algorithm is used as a stream
+ * cipher called "arcfour" in Tatu Ylonen's ssh package.
+ *
+ * Here the stream cipher has been modified always to include the time
+ * when initializing the state. That makes it impossible to
+ * regenerate the same random sequence twice, so this can't be used
+ * for encryption, but will generate good random numbers.
