Title: Haveged waterline

Adjusts haveged settings, specifically the "fill line" that triggers the haveged daemon to inject more entropy into the pool. By setting this to the minimum amount of entropy needed to generate a GPG key (2400 bits according to some experimentation, see #303) we can dramatically reduce (potentially eliminating entirely) the occurrences of the "flag for reply" flow.
