6517516324 Add prediction resistance capability to the DRBG reseeding process.
Refer to NIST SP 800-90C section 5.4 "Prediction Resistance.l"

This requires the seed sources to be approved as entropy sources, after
which they should be considered live sources as per section 5.3.2 "Live
Entropy Source Availability."
