Alex Brainman db82cf4e50 runtime: use RtlGenRandom instead of CryptGenRandom
This change replaces the use of CryptGenRandom with RtlGenRandom in
Windows to generate cryptographically random numbers during process
startup. RtlGenRandom uses the same RNG as CryptGenRandom, but it has many
fewer DLL dependencies and so does not affect process startup time as
much.

This makes running simple Go program on my computers faster.

Windows XP:
benchmark                      old ns/op     new ns/op     delta
BenchmarkRunningGoProgram-2     47408573      10784148      -77.25%

Windows 7 (VM):
benchmark                    old ns/op     new ns/op     delta
BenchmarkRunningGoProgram     16260390      12792150      -21.33%

Windows 7:

Fixes #15589

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
