Issue #25003: On Solaris 11.3 or newer, os.urandom() now uses the getrandom() 

function instead of the getentropy() function. The getentropy() function is
blocking to generate very good quality entropy, os.urandom() doesn't need such
high-quality entropy.

- Issue #25003: On Solaris 11.3 or newer, os.urandom() now uses the
getrandom() function instead of the getentropy() function. The getentropy()
function is blocking to generate very good quality entropy, os.urandom()
doesn't need such high-quality entropy.
- Issue #25182: The stdprinter (used as sys.stderr before the io module is
imported at startup) now uses the backslashreplace error handler.
