Avoid buffered reads of /dev/urandom
I am seeing disappointing clang performance on a large PowerPC64 Linux box. GetRandomNumberSeed() does a buffered read from /dev/urandom to seed its PRNG. As a result we read an entire page even though we only need 4 bytes. With every clang task reading a page worth of /dev/urandom we end up spending a large amount of time stuck on kernel spinlock.
