    random_seed: Rewrite the generic clock() based seed code · 01d245ef

    The new code is faster and reuses the previous state in case of
    multiple calls.
    
    The previous code could easily end up in near-infinite loops,
    if the difference between two clock() calls never was larger than
    1.
    
    This makes fate-parseutils finish in finite time when run in wine,
    if CryptGenRandom isn't available (which e.g. isn't available if
    targeting Windows RT/metro).
    
    Patch originally by Michael Niedermayer but with some modifications
    by Martin Storsjö.
