The old algorithm managing random number pools was inefficient and
prone to race conditions. Moreover, its behaviour was not compatible
with the API (provided buffers were filled from the end, leaving
beggining of the buffer untouched if there was not enough random data).
The new implementation is a bit faster and it is race-free as long as
all callers of the entropy_get_entropy_isr() are executed in
"run-to-completion" mode.

The nRF5x entropy driver does not depends on SOC_FAMILY_NRF is therefore
visible and selectable non-nRF5x SoCs. Fix that.

Depend on the new SOC_COMPATIBLE_NRF symbol instead of the
SOC_FAMILY_NRF symbol.
This allows the driver to be used from the bsim simulated board

Clarify the difference between the buffer length and threshold Kconfig
options available in the nRF5 entropy driver.

The rand driver present in the BLE Link Layer is able to provide
entropy for both threads and ISRs, and so it is more suited to be used
as a generic nRF5x entropy driver instead of the current one. This will
allow applications and the Link Layer to use the same driver without
duplicating it.
