The 'rand_generate' method is not well suited for being used with
weak entropy sources in the 'get_entropy' callback, because the
caller needs to provide a preallocated buffer without knowing
how much bytes are actually needed to collect the required entropy.
Instead we use the 'rand_get_seed' and 'rand_clear_seed' methods
which were exactly designed for this purpose: it's the callee who
allocates and fills the buffer, and finally cleans it up again.
The 'rand_get_seed' and 'rand_clear_seed' methods are currently
optional for a provided random generator. We could fall back to
using 'rand_generate' if those methods are not implemented.
However, imo it would be better to simply make them an officially
documented requirement for seed sources.
