Bugzilla: 3668 (https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3668)
The NIST Special Publications 800-90A, 800-90B and 800-90C
provide recommendations for random number generation. The
NIST 800-90C, Recommendation for Random Bit Generator (RBG)
Constructions, defines the GetEntropy() interface that is
used to access the entropy source. The GetEntropy() interface
is further used by Deterministic Random Bit Generators (DRBG)
to generate random numbers.
The True Random Number Generator (TRNG) library defines an
interface to access the entropy source on a platform. Some
platforms/architectures may provide access to the entropy
using a firmware interface. In such cases the TRNG library
shall be used to provide an abstraction.

Notes:
v2:
- MdePkg\Include\Library\TrngLib.h is base type [LIMING]
library. It can use RETURN_STATUS instead of
EFI_STATUS. Then, it doesn't need to include
<Uefi/UefiBaseType.h>
- Replaced EFI_STATUS with RETURN_STATUS and [SAMI]
removed include of /UefiBaseType.h.
- MdePkg\Include\Library\TrngLib.h API parameter [LIMING]
doesn't require CONST. CONST means the value
specified by the input pointer will not be
changed in API implementation.
- Removed the use of constant pointers in the [SAMI]
TRNG API.
