Title: RFC: xen: read entropy from the Xen entropy device

We connect to an entropy server over the well-known console channel

org.openmirage.entropy.1

Limitations:

- we read exactly one block of entropy data. Should we read as much
as the backend will offer? Note the backend implementation has a
rate limiter to avoid starving dom0.
- there is no fall-back for cases where there is no Xen entropy source
i.e. on the vast majority of Xen hosts including AWS.
