rand(3): Replace implementation with one backed by random(3) algorithm

rand(3)'s standard C API is extremely limiting, but we can do better
than the historical 32-bit state Park-Miller LCG we've shipped since
2001: r73156.

The justification provided at the time for not using random(3) was that
rand_r(3) could not be made to use the same algorithm. That is still
true. However, the irrelevance of rand_r(3) is increasingly obvious.
Since that time, POSIX has marked the interface obsolescent. rand_r(3)
never became part of the standard C library. If not for API
compatibility reasons, I would just remove rand_r(3) entirely.

So, I do not believe it is a problem for rand_r(3) and rand(3) to
diverge.

The 12 ABI is maintained with compatibility definitions, but this
revision does subtly change the API of rand(3). The sequences of
pseudorandom numbers produced in programs built against new versions of
libc will differ from programs built against prior versions of libc.

Deprecate sranddev(3) API

It serves no useful purpose and wasn't as popular as its equally meritless
cousin, srandomdev(3).

Setting aside the problems with rand(3) in general, the problem with this
interface is that the seed isn't shared with the caller (other than by
attacking the output of the generator, which is trivial, but not a hallmark of
pleasant API design). The (arguable) utility of rand(3) or random(3) is as a
semi-fast simulation generator which produces consistent results from a given
seed. These are mutually at odd. Furthermore, sometimes people got the
mistaken impression that a high quality random seed meant a weak generator like
rand(3) or random(3) could be used for things like cryptographic key
generation. This is absolutely not so.

The API was never part of a standard and was not widely used in tree. Existing
in-tree uses have all been removed.

Possible replacement in out of tree codebases:

char buf[3];
time_t t;

time(t);
strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), "%S", gmtime(&t));
srand(atoi(buf));

General further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.

1) Unifdef USE_WEAK_SEEDING since it is too obsolete to support and makes
reading hard.

2) Instead of doing range transformation in each and every function here,
do it single time directly in do_rand(). One "mod" operation overhead is not
a big deal, but the code looks nicer and possible future functions additions
or PRNG change do not miss range transformations neither have unneeded ones.

3) Use POSIX argument types for visible functions (cosmetic).
