Eric Blake 87de27b7f9 virrandom: make virRandomInitialize an automatic one-shot
All callers used the same initialization seed (well, the new
viratomictest forgot to look at getpid()); so we might as well
make this value automatic.  And while it may feel like we are
giving up functionality, I documented how to get it back in the
unlikely case that you actually need to debug with a fixed
pseudo-random sequence.  I left that crippled by default, so
that a stray environment variable doesn't cause a lack of
randomness to become a security issue.

* src/util/virrandom.c (virRandomInitialize): Rename...
(virRandomOnceInit): ...and make static, with one-shot call.
Document how to do fixed-seed debugging.
* src/util/virrandom.h (virRandomInitialize): Drop prototype.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (virrandom.h): Don't export it.
* src/libvirt.c (virInitialize): Adjust caller.
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c (main): Likewise.
* src/security/virt-aa-helper.c (main): Likewise.
* src/util/iohelper.c (main): Likewise.
* tests/seclabeltest.c (main): Likewise.
* tests/testutils.c (virtTestMain): Likewise.
* tests/viratomictest.c (mymain): Likewise.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
