drivers: entropy: Introduce ISR-specific entropy function

In order to address the requirements of the kernel boot process, an
optional ISR-specific function is declared to allow entropy collection
outside of thread mode and without using any kernel primitives. It also
includes a parameter to optionally busy-wait for hardware entropy
generation.

drivers: Rename `random` to `entropy`

This should clear up some of the confusion with random number
generators and drivers that obtain entropy from the hardware.  Also,
many hardware number generators have limited bandwidth, so it's natural
for their output to be only used for seeding a random number generator.
