[issue21305] PEP 466: update os.urandom

Alex Gaynor added the comment:

It's not a security issue per-se, but if you're doing many small reads, there's such an enormous performance and scalability difference that if users run into an issue, they're likely to work around it by using a non-CS PRNG, and compromising their application security.
