strong and fork-safe RNG.

New submission from Jeffrey Walton:
Some versions of OpenSSL use the RDRAND engine by default. The versions include
openssl-1.0.1-beta1 through openssl-1.0.1f.
RDRAND has taken some criticism because its essentially unaudited and it could
be spiked like the Dual-EC generator

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:
Apart from our Windows binaries, this doesn't seem much of a Python issue.
Python normally links with whatever the system OpenSSL is.
