  Modified files:
    lib/libc/gen         Makefile.inc 
  Added files:
    lib/libc/gen         arc4random.3 arc4random.c 
  Log:
  Add arc4random() functions from OpenBSD. They are almost same as our
  srandomdev(), but can be used inside libraries. random() can't be used
  inside libraries because it breaks its possible predictable sequence.
  arc4random() is true random as designed, so its usage is library-safe.
  Obtained from: OpenBSD
