Hello all,

Following on from our discussions about the random(4)
page, and a suggestion from Laurent, I've created
a random(7) page that provides a short overview of
the APIs for obtaining randomness, and some comparisons
and recommendations for using those APIs. A good part of
the text is relocated from the existing getrandom(2) and
random(4) pages. I also incorporated a table that was
proposed by Laurent that compares the APIs on a number
of points.

The rendered version of the page is below. The source is
attached (and already pushed to Git.) 

Does anyone see any further tweaks that might be required?
Looks fine to me.
