Add prng(9) API

Add prng(9) as a replacement for random(9) in the kernel.

There are two major differences from random(9) and random(3):

- General prng(9) APIs (prng32(9), etc) do not guarantee an
implementation or particular sequence; they should not be used for
repeatable simulations.

- However, specific named API families are also exposed (for now: PCG),
and those are expected to be repeatable (when so-guaranteed by the named
algorithm).

Some minor differences from random(3) and earlier random(9):

- PRNG state for the general prng(9) APIs is per-CPU; this eliminates
contention on PRNG state in SMP workloads. Each PCPU generator in an
SMP system produces a unique sequence.

- Better statistical properties than the Park-Miller ("minstd") PRNG
(longer period, uniform distribution in all bits, passes
BigCrush/PractRand analysis).

- Faster than Park-Miller ("minstd") PRNG -- no division is required to
step PCG-family PRNGs.

For now, random(9) becomes a thin shim around prng32(). Eventually I
would like to mechanically switch consumers over to the explicit API.
