Victor Stinner 01bdbad3e9 Don't use getentropy() on Linux
Issue #29188: Support glibc 2.24 on Linux: don't use getentropy() function but
read from /dev/urandom to get random bytes, for example in os.urandom().  On
Linux, getentropy() is implemented which getrandom() is blocking mode, whereas
os.urandom() should not block.
