[issue27266] Always use getrandom() in os.random() on Linux and add block=False parameter to os.urandom()

[Donald Stufft]

Donald Stufft added the comment:

Having os.urandom raise an error instead of blocking is OK with me. It turns an implicit error into an explicit one. However, I prefer to have it block until it has initialized it's entropy pool because that makes Linux behave similarly to all of the other major, modern OSs instead of making Linux continue to be a weird edge case.
