* Use Fortuna for pseudo-random bytes too, as those need to
be high-quality also. OpenSSL internally acts same way.
* Clarify add_entropy logic - before first reseed get_rand_pool()
will return only 0, so make it explicit.
* On reseeding on first request, don't check if the pool#0 is
filled, use whatever is available.
* The counter value is already randomized, to avoid known state.
Do the same with pools. Thus no publicly known values in state.
