 * This file is an attempt at collecting best practice methods for obtaining randomness with different operating systems.
 * It may be out-of-date. Consult the documentation of the operating system before considering to use the methods below.
 *
 * Platform randomness sources:
 * Linux   -> `getrandom(2)`(`sys/random.h`), if not available `/dev/urandom` should be used. http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getrandom.2.html, https://linux.die.net/man/4/urandom
 * macOS   -> `getentropy(2)`(`sys/random.h`), if not available `/dev/urandom` should be used. https://www.unix.com/man-page/mojave/2/getentropy, https://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-517.12.7/bsd/man/man4/random.4.auto.html
 * FreeBSD -> `getrandom(2)`(`sys/random.h`), if not available `kern.arandom` should be used. https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=getrandom, https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=random&sektion=4
 * OpenBSD -> `getentropy(2)`(`unistd.h`), if not available `/dev/urandom` should be used. https://man.openbsd.org/getentropy, https://man.openbsd.org/urandom
 * Windows -> `BCryptGenRandom`(`bcrypt.h`). https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/bcrypt/nf-bcrypt-bcryptgenrandom

     * This method used in memzero_explicit() the Linux kernel, too. Its advantage is that it is
     * pretty efficient, because the compiler can still implement the memset() efficently,
     * just not remove it entirely. See "Dead Store Elimination (Still) Considered Harmful" by
     * Yang et al. (USENIX Security 2017) for more background.
