linux: try to use libc getrandom to allow interposition

We'll try to use a weak `getrandom` symbol first, because that allows
things like `LD_PRELOAD` interposition. For example, perf measurements
might want to disable randomness to get reproducible results. If the
weak symbol is not found, we fall back to a raw `SYS_getrandom` call.
