Provide per-source state variables for the repetition count test and
adaptive proportion test, to allow for the situation in which an
entropy source can be enabled but then fails during the startup tests,
thereby requiring an alternative entropy source to be used.

As noted in commit 3c83843 ("[rng] Check for several functioning RTC
interrupts"), experimentation shows that Hyper-V cannot be trusted to
reliably generate RTC interrupts. (As noted in commit f3ba0fb
("[hyperv] Provide timer based on the 10MHz time reference count
MSR"), Hyper-V appears to suffer from a general problem in reliably
generating any legacy interrupts.) An alternative entropy source is
therefore required for an image that may be used in a Hyper-V Gen1
virtual machine.
The x86 RDRAND instruction provides a suitable alternative entropy
source, but may not be supported by all CPUs. We must therefore allow
for multiple entropy sources to be compiled in, with the single active
entropy source selected only at runtime.
Restructure the internal entropy API to allow a working entropy source
to be detected and chosen at runtime.
Enable the RDRAND entropy source for all x86 builds, since it is
likely to be substantially faster than any other source.

We currently perform various min-entropy calculations using build-time
floating-point arithmetic. No floating-point code ends up in the
final binary, since the results are eventually converted to integers
and asserted to be compile-time constants.
Though this mechanism is undoubtedly cute, it inhibits us from using
"-mno-sse" to prevent the use of SSE registers by the compiler.
Fix by using fixed-point arithmetic instead.

ANS X9.82 specifies that the start-up tests shall consist of at least
one full cycle of the continuous tests.

ANS X9.82 specifies several Approved Sources of Entropy Input (SEI).
One such SEI uses an entropy source as the Source of Entropy Input,
condensing each entropy source output after each GetEntropy call.
This can be implemented relatively cheaply in iPXE and avoids the need
to allocate potentially very large buffers.
(Note that the terms "entropy source" and "Source of Entropy Input"
are not synonyms within the context of ANS X9.82.)
Use the iPXE API mechanism to allow entropy sources to be selected at
compilation time.

Cryptographic random number generation requires an entropy source,
which is used as the input to a Deterministic Random Bit Generator
(DRBG).
iPXE does not currently have a suitable entropy source. Provide a
dummy source to allow the DRBG code to be implemented.
