[issue27776] PEP 524: Make os.urandom() blocking on Linux

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

If /dev/urandom isn't available, Python refusing to start is likely to be one of the least of the system's problems, so Py_FatalError sounds reasonable to me - my +1 for a fallback above was a matter of "sounds good if you can find a way to make it work".

Thanks for all your work on getting this designed and implemented, Victor!
