Solaris: consistantly use /dev/random source (#310)
On Solaris, we opt to use /dev/random source instead of /dev/urandom due
to reasons explained in the comments and
[in this Solaris blog post](https://blogs.oracle.com/solaris/post/solaris-new-system-calls-getentropy2-and-getrandom2).
However, we haven't been making the same choice when getting randomness
via the `getrandom(2)` function, as we just pass `0` for the flags. We
[used to](https://github.com/rust-random/rand/pull/730/files#diff-694d4302a3ff2a976f2fbd34bc05ada22ee61a4e21d2d985beab27f7a809268fR151)
always set `GRND_RANDOM`, but that was removed in the move from `OsRng`
to this crate.
For context, rust-random/rand#730,
#9, and
#51 are the major changes
to the Solaris/Illumos implementation over the years.
See the solaris documentation for:
- [`getrandom(2)`](https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E88353_01/html/E37841/getrandom-2.html)
- [`urandom(4)`](https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E88353_01/html/E37851/urandom-4d.html)
I also updated the doucmentation to better reflect when
[Illumos added the `getrandom(2)` function](https://www.illumos.org/issues/9971#change-23483).
