/// A wrapper around any PRNG which reseeds the underlying PRNG after it has
/// generated a certain number of random bytes.
///
/// When the RNG gets cloned, the clone is reseeded on first use.
///
/// Reseeding is never strictly *necessary*. Cryptographic PRNGs don't have a
/// limited number of bytes they can output, or at least not a limit reachable
/// in any practical way. There is no such thing as 'running out of entropy'.
///
/// Some small non-cryptographic PRNGs can have very small periods, for
/// example less than 2<sup>64</sup>. Would reseeding help to ensure that you do
/// not wrap around at the end of the period? A period of 2<sup>64</sup> still
/// takes several centuries of CPU-years on current hardware. Reseeding will
/// actually make things worse, because the reseeded PRNG will just continue
/// somewhere else *in the same period*, with a high chance of overlapping with
/// previously used parts of it.
///
/// # When should you use `ReseedingRng`?
///
/// - Reseeding can be seen as some form of 'security in depth'. Even if in the
///   future a cryptographic weakness is found in the CSPRNG being used,
///   occasionally reseeding should make exploiting it much more difficult or
///   even impossible.
/// - It can be used as a poor man's cryptography (not recommended, just use a
///   good CSPRNG). Previous implementations of `thread_rng` for example used
///   `ReseedingRng` with the ISAAC RNG. That algorithm, although apparently
///   strong and with no known attack, does not come with any proof of security
///   and does not meet the current standards for a cryptographically secure
///   PRNG. By reseeding it frequently (every 32 kiB) it seems safe to assume
///   there is no attack that can operate on the tiny window between reseeds.
///
/// # Error handling
///
/// Although extremely unlikely, reseeding the wrapped PRNG can fail.
/// `ReseedingRng` will never panic but try to handle the error intelligently
/// through some combination of retrying and delaying reseeding until later.
/// If handling the source error fails `ReseedingRng` will continue generating
/// data from the wrapped PRNG without reseeding.
