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.

subsys/random: sys_rand32_get() implementation that uses entropy API

Instead of every hardware number generator driver providing an
implementation of this function, use the random device API to
centralize the implementation of this function.

This is a very simplistic function that can be seen as a stepping stone
to refactor the random number generation in Zephyr.

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.
