 * Curl_rand() stores 'num' number of random unsigned characters in the buffer
 * 'rnd' points to.
 *
 * If libcurl is built without TLS support or with a TLS backend that lacks a
 * proper random API (Gskit, PolarSSL or mbedTLS), this function will use
 * "weak" random.
 *
 * When built *with* TLS support and a backend that offers strong random, it
 * will return error if it cannot provide strong random values.
 *
 * NOTE: 'data' may be passed in as NULL when coming from external API without
 * easy handle!
