      Work on SERVER-20919 suggested some improvements that could improve our random number generation infrastructure across the codebase.

      The following points are some suggested improvements:
      1) We should have a way to access OpenSSL's CSPRNG
      2) We should have a way to obtain arbitrary byte arrays full of random values
      3) We should have a templated method to produce random numbers of requested types
