The old random timer test was not random-looking
enough on some platforms.
Replace with new test which is psuedo-xoshiro.
The generator is still deterministic
and does not depend on entropy at all,
but should look more random for testing.
Change name of generator tree-wide also.

The `TEST_RANDOM_GENERATOR` symbol in itself does not imply that a
non-random number generator is selected -- that is indicated by the
`RNG_GENERATOR_CHOICE` choices, of which only `TIMER_RANDOM_GENERATOR`
is a non-random generator.
This commit updates the Random subsystem to print the "non-random
number generator usage warning" when `TIMER_RANDOM_GENERATOR` is
selected, as opposed to when `TEST_RANDOM_GENERATOR` is selected.

Deprecate the xoroshiro128+ PRNG algorithm in favour of xoshiro128++.
xoshiro128++ is a drop-in replacement which is invisible from the user
perspective.
xoroshiro128+ is unsuitable because it is explicitly a floating-point
PRNG, not a general-purpose PRNG. This means that the lower 4 bits of
the output are actually linear, not random (from the designers,
https://prng.di.unimi.it/). This means 1/8th of the generated data is
not random.
Additionally, xoroshiro128+ is not a 32bit algorithm, it operates on
64bit numbers. For the vast majority of Zephyr devices, this makes the
PRNG slower than it needs to be. The replacement (xoshiro128++) is
32bit, with no loss in state space (still 128 bit).

Adds an implementation of xoshiro128++ as a pseudo random number
generator from https://prng.di.unimi.it/ that operates on 32bit words.
The algorithm postfix signifies the main operation in the generation
function. Therefore xoshiro++ is chosen over xoshiro** as we would
prefer to do 2 additions isntead of 2 multiplications on embedded
hardware. The quality of the generators appears to be the same in all
other respects.
xoshiro+ is not chosen despite being faster as it generates random
floating-point values, not general purpose random values (The lower 4
bits are linear).

Generates a warning message when building with
CONFIG_TEST_RANDOM_GENERATOR. The purpose is inform that this is not
secure and should not used in production.

Create syscalls to make possible using random APIs from user mode
threads. These APIs can have different implementations, like using
entropy driver or Xoroshiro128. Some of these implementations also have
some globals to preserve state between calls.
Make it run entire in user space would require user adding these globals
to their memeory domains and/or grant access to entropy device. Syscalls
simplify its usage.

This is a copy of rand32_timer.c that uses
z_do_read_cpu_timestamp32() instead of k_cycle_get_32(),
with some logic to ensure different values when called in
rapid succession missing.
Like the other driver, its reported values are not random,
it's a testing generator only.
This appears to have no advantages over rand32_timer.c,
just remove it. In QEMU emulation, the reported TSC values
tend to have the lowest five bits zeroed.

1) Add cryptographically secure random functions to provide
FIPS 140-2 compliant random functions.
2) Add name to random function choice selectors to ease
selection in SOC .defconfig files
3) Add bulk fill random functions.

Update the files which contain no license information with the
'Apache-2.0' SPDX license identifier. Many source files in the tree are
missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance
tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of Zephyr, which is Apache version 2.

Introducing CMake is an important step in a larger effort to make
Zephyr easy to use for application developers working on different
platforms with different development environment needs.
Simplified, this change retains Kconfig as-is, and replaces all
Makefiles with CMakeLists.txt. The DSL-like Make language that KBuild
offers is replaced by a set of CMake extentions. These extentions have
either provided simple one-to-one translations of KBuild features or
introduced new concepts that replace KBuild concepts.
This is a breaking change for existing test infrastructure and build
scripts that are maintained out-of-tree. But for FW itself, no porting
should be necessary.
For users that just want to continue their work with minimal
disruption the following should suffice:
Install CMake 3.8.2+
Port any out-of-tree Makefiles to CMake.
Learn the absolute minimum about the new command line interface:
$ cd samples/hello_world
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DBOARD=nrf52_pca10040 ..
$ cd build
$ make
