Enable GnuTLS fallback
On systems with GNU/Linux kernel older than 3.17 (Debian 8 "jessie" for example) the osmo_get_rand_id() would always return failure due to missing getrandom() syscall. To support such systems, let's add fallback code which uses GnuTLS library. It can be disabled explicitly via '--disable-gnutls' option at compile-time, otherwise ./configure will fail if both getrandom() and GnuTLS are not available. When building with '--enable-embedded' the fallback is disabled automatically. Related: OS#1694 Change-Id: Ic77866ce65acf524b768882c751a4f9c0635740b
