[rng] Add get_random_nz() function required by RSA algorithm
RSA requires the generation of random non-zero bytes (i.e. a sequence
of random numbers in the range [0x01,0xff]). ANS X9.82 provides
various Approved methods for converting random bits into random
numbers. The simplest such method is the Simple Discard Method.
