[Bug target/94087] std::random_device often fails when used from multiple threads

--- Comment #13 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
We could do this easily enough (which could be simplified if RDRAND is
guaranteed to be available when RDSEED is available):

I'd rather not have to do everything shown at

to produce a stronger seed from RDRAND.
