Replace random_byte() with random_read().
This is in preparation for a PRNG revamp which will want to have a well defined boundary for any given request-for-randomness, so that it can destroy the evidence afterwards. So no more looping round calling random_byte() and then stopping when we feel like it: now you say up front how many random bytes you want, and call random_read() which gives you that many in one go. Most of the call sites that had to be fixed are fairly mechanical, and quite a few ended up more concise afterwards. A few became more cumbersome, such as mp_random_bits, in which the new API doesn't let me load the random bytes directly into the target integer without triggering undefined behaviour, so instead I have to allocate a separate temporary buffer. The _most_ interesting call site was in the PKCS#1 v1.5 padding code in sshrsa.c (used in SSH-1), in which you need a stream of _nonzero_ random bytes. The previous code just looped on random_byte, retrying if it got a zero. Now I'm doing a much more interesting thing with an mpint, essentially scaling a binary fraction repeatedly to extract a number in the range [0,255) and then adding 1 to it.
