Simple interface to rdseed / rdrand instructions.

## API

1. `get64`, 32, 16 - nonblocking variants returning random number as an Option.
1. `fill_bytes` - fills byte slice with random values. blocking function.
1. `blocking` - wrapper returning random number when ready and
   panicking if operation is not supported by hardware.
1. `is_available` - query if hardware supports random operations.
1. `rand` module - strong pseudo random RDRAND operations. These operations
   will less likely to block. Useful for generating lot of random numbers quickly.
1. Crate defaults to true random RDSEED operations.

## Portability
x64 CPU with RDSEED / RDRAND instructions.
