Log:
  Reduce disk write load in /usr/libexec/save-entropy.
  
  Before this commit, the save-entropy script rotates entropy files
  like logs. This involves creating a new file that holds the entropy
  and renaming of all existing entropy files. However, the entropy
  data do not really need to be kept in a particular order, and
  replacing the oldest file is sufficient.
  
  This commit replaces the rotation with a scan in the
  [1..entropy_save_num] space that finds the first empty slot, or
  the slot of the oldest file, and writes entropy into that slot.
  
  This also fixes an issue that prevents save-entropy from saving
  any entropy when there is one non-regular file in any slot as a
  side effect.
  
  Based on an earlier patch from peterj@.
