[lng-odp] [API-NEXT PATCHv7 1/3] api: random: add explicit controls over random data

Rework the odp_random_data() API to replace the use_entropy with an explicit odp_random_kind parameter that controls the type of random desired. Two new APIs are also introduced: - odp_random_max_kind() returns the maximum kind of random data available - odp_random_repeatable_data() permits
