Comment (by nickm):
I added a whole bunch of fixes and changes in shake_prng, quite likely
breaking something.
Benchmark says it's 6.6x faster than openssl's PRNG for short-ish outputs.
IMO this means there's no need to jump into the wacky world of libottery's
additional hacks.
The main change still needed would be getting #17783 merged, and then
rebasing this and cleanup up the branch.
