At compile time, Rng selects one of:

  • A thread-local (ish) user space fast key erasure ChaCha8 CSPRNG if trng is enabled, or
  • ThreadRng if std is enabled, or
  • getrandom if getrandom is enabled, or
  • extern "C" fn crypto_getrandom(...) otherwise

I'm not exactly a fan of user space CSPRNGs. The ChaCha8 trng CSPRNG is unavoidable, but ThreadRng isn't. We should probably get rid of it.
