/// A true random number generator based on jitter in the CPU execution time,
/// and jitter in memory access time.
///
/// This is a true random number generator, as opposed to pseudo-random
/// generators. Random numbers generated by `JitterRng` can be seen as fresh
/// entropy. A consequence is that is orders of magnitude slower than [`OsRng`]
/// and PRNGs (about 10<sup>3</sup>..10<sup>6</sup> slower).
///
/// There are very few situations where using this RNG is appropriate. Only very
/// few applications require true entropy. A normal PRNG can be statistically
/// indistinguishable, and a cryptographic PRNG should also be as impossible to
/// predict.
///
/// Use of `JitterRng` is recommended for initializing cryptographic PRNGs when
/// [`OsRng`] is not available.
///
/// `JitterRng` can be used without the standard library, but not conveniently,
/// you must provide a high-precision timer and carefully have to follow the
/// instructions of [`new_with_timer`].
///
/// This implementation is based on
/// [Jitterentropy](http://www.chronox.de/jent.html) version 2.1.0.
///
/// Note: There is no accurate timer available on Wasm platforms, to help
/// prevent fingerprinting or timing side-channel attacks. Therefore
/// [`JitterRng::new()`] is not available on Wasm.
///
/// # Quality testing
///
/// [`JitterRng::new()`] has build-in, but limited, quality testing, however
/// before using `JitterRng` on untested hardware, or after changes that could
/// effect how the code is optimized (such as a new LLVM version), it is
/// recommend to run the much more stringent
/// [NIST SP 800-90B Entropy Estimation Suite](
/// https://github.com/usnistgov/SP800-90B_EntropyAssessment).
///
/// Use the following code using [`timer_stats`] to collect the data:
///
/// ```no_run
/// use rand::jitter::JitterRng;
/// #
/// # use std::error::Error;
/// # use std::fs::File;
/// # use std::io::Write;
/// #
/// # fn try_main() -> Result<(), Box<Error>> {
/// let mut rng = JitterRng::new()?;
///
/// // 1_000_000 results are required for the
/// // NIST SP 800-90B Entropy Estimation Suite
/// const ROUNDS: usize = 1_000_000;
/// let mut deltas_variable: Vec<u8> = Vec::with_capacity(ROUNDS);
/// let mut deltas_minimal: Vec<u8> = Vec::with_capacity(ROUNDS);
///
/// for _ in 0..ROUNDS {
///     deltas_variable.push(rng.timer_stats(true) as u8);
///     deltas_minimal.push(rng.timer_stats(false) as u8);
/// }
///
/// // Write out after the statistics collection loop, to not disturb the
/// // test results.
/// File::create("jitter_rng_var.bin")?.write(&deltas_variable)?;
/// File::create("jitter_rng_min.bin")?.write(&deltas_minimal)?;
/// #
/// # Ok(())
/// # }
/// #
/// # fn main() {
/// #     try_main().unwrap();
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// This will produce two files: `jitter_rng_var.bin` and `jitter_rng_min.bin`.
/// Run the Entropy Estimation Suite in three configurations, as outlined below.
/// Every run has two steps. One step to produce an estimation, another to
/// validate the estimation.
///
/// 1. Estimate the expected amount of entropy that is at least available with
///    each round of the entropy collector. This number should be greater than
///    the amount estimated with `64 / test_timer()`.
///    ```sh
///    python noniid_main.py -v jitter_rng_var.bin 8
///    restart.py -v jitter_rng_var.bin 8 <min-entropy>
///    ```
/// 2. Estimate the expected amount of entropy that is available in the last 4
///    bits of the timer delta after running noice sources. Note that a value of
///    `3.70` is the minimum estimated entropy for true randomness.
///    ```sh
///    python noniid_main.py -v -u 4 jitter_rng_var.bin 4
///    restart.py -v -u 4 jitter_rng_var.bin 4 <min-entropy>
///    ```
/// 3. Estimate the expected amount of entropy that is available to the entropy
///    collector if both noice sources only run their minimal number of times.
///    This measures the absolute worst-case, and gives a lower bound for the
///    available entropy.
///    ```sh
///    python noniid_main.py -v -u 4 jitter_rng_min.bin 4

// value, and the new state of the entropy pool, would be in some way related to
// the initial state. It is therefore better if the initial state of the entropy
// pool is different on each call to `generate`. This has a few implications:
// - `generate` should be called once before using `JitterRng` to produce the
//   first usable value (this is done by default in `new`);
// - We do not zero the entropy pool after generating a result. The reference
//   implementation also does not support zeroing, but recommends generating a
//   new value without using it if you want to protect a previously generated
//   'secret' value from someone inspecting the memory;
// - Implementing `Clone` seems acceptable, as it would not cause the systematic
//   bias a constant might cause. Only instead of one value that could be
//   potentially related to the same initial state, there are now two.

// Entropy collector state.
// These values are not necessary to preserve across runs.
