/**
 * Retrieves 64-bits of true random data from RDSEED instruction.
 *
 * If RDSEED isn't available, we'll try RDRAND (which we automatically
 * disable for microarchitectures where it's known to be slow or buggy).
 * If RDRAND isn't available then we try getrandom(), ProcessPrng(), or
 * sysctl(KERN_ARND). If those aren't available then we try /dev/urandom
 * and if that fails, we use RDTSC and getpid().
 *
 * @note this function could block a nontrivial time on old computers
 * @note this function is indeed intended for cryptography
 * @note this function takes around 800 cycles
 * @see rngset(), rdrand(), _rand64()
 * @asyncsignalsafe
