number of generate requests, but also after a specified time interval.

* AUTOMATIC RESEEDING
*
* Before satisfying a generate request, a DRBG reseeds itself automatically
* if the number of generate requests since the last reseeding exceeds a
* certain threshold, the so called |reseed_interval|. This automatic
* reseeding can be disabled by setting the |reseed_interval| to 0.
* Before satisfying a generate request, a DRBG reseeds itself automatically,
* if one of the following two conditions holds:
*
* - the number of generate requests since the last reseeding exceeds a
* certain threshold, the so called |reseed_interval|. This behaviour
* can be disabled by setting the |reseed_interval| to 0.
*
* - the time elapsed since the last reseeding exceeds a certain time
* interval, the so called |reseed_time_interval|. This behaviour
* can be disabled by setting the |reseed_time_interval| to 0.
*
* MANUAL RESEEDING
*
* For the three shared DRBGs (and only for these) there is a way to reseed
* them manually by calling RAND_seed() (or RAND_add() with a positive
