Document that the random API doesn't necessarily need to be a CSPRNG; it need only be at least as good as a CSPRNG in both security and performance. This theoretically allows hardware random devices to be used directly, provided they're able to produce cryptographically-secure data with sufficient performance. Fixes #28.
