5c74521d24 rng-random: add an RNG backend that uses /dev/random (v3)
The filename can be overridden but it expects a non-blocking source of entropy.
A typical invocation would be:

qemu -object rng-random,id=rng0 -device virtio-rng-pci,rng=rng0

This can also be used with /dev/urandom by using the command line:

qemu -object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0 \
     -device virtio-rng-pci,rng=rng0
