Add function to generate random identifier
The function is a wrapper on top of getrandom() (if available via glibc) or
corresponding syscall. If neither is available than failure is always
returned.
It's intended to generate small random data good enough for session
identifiers and keys. To generate long-term cryptographic keys it's
better to use special crypto libraries (like GnuTLS for example)
instead.
As an example it's used to replace old insecure random number generator
in osmo-auc-gen utility.
