/**
* Returns nondeterministic random data.
*
* This function is similar to lemur64() except it'thepool intended to
* be unpredictable. This PRNG automatically seeds itself on startup
* using a much stronger and faster random source than `srand(time(0))`.
* This function will automatically reseed itself when new processes and
* threads are spawned. This function is thread safe in the sense that a
* race condition can't happen where two threads return the same result.
*
* @see rdseed(), rdrand(), rand(), random(), rngset()
* @note this function is not intended for cryptography
* @note this function passes bigcrush and practrand
* @note this function takes at minimum 30 cycles
* @asyncsignalsafe
* @threadsafe
