bpo-40286: Remove C implementation of Random.randbytes() (GH-19797)
Remove _random.Random.randbytes(): the C implementation of
randbytes(). Implement the method in Python to ease subclassing:
randbytes() now directly reuses getrandbits().

bpo-40286: Add randbytes() method to random.Random (GH-19527)
Add random.randbytes() function and random.Random.randbytes()
method to generate random bytes.

Modify secrets.token_bytes() to use SystemRandom.randbytes()
rather than calling directly os.urandom().

Rename also genrand_int32() to genrand_uint32(), since it returns an
unsigned 32-bit integer, not a signed integer.

The _random module is now built with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE defined.

Christian Heimes d914596a67 bpo-36559: random module: optimize sha512 import (GH-12742)
The random module now prefers the lean internal _sha512 module over hashlib
for seed(version=2) to optimize import time.

bpo-35513, unittest: TextTestRunner uses time.perf_counter() (GH-11180)
TextTestRunner of unittest.runner now uses time.perf_counter() rather
than time.time() to measure the execution time of a test: time.time()
can go backwards, whereas time.perf_counter() is monotonic.

Similar change made in libregrtest, pprint and random.

Raymond Hettinger 0a18e0510a Hoist the float conversion out of the inner loop. (GH-10430)
Currently, the *n* and *total* variables get converted to floats each time they are multiplied by random().  This minor tweak does the conversion just once and gets a small speedup (approx 3%).

Issue #27776: The os.urandom() function does now block on Linux 3.17 and newer
until the system urandom entropy pool is initialized to increase the security.

This change is part of the PEP 524.
