CLOUDSTACK-9395: Add Virtio RNG device to Instances when configured
By adding a Random Number Generator device to Instances we can prevent
entropy starvation inside guest.
The default source is /dev/random on the host, but this can be configured
to another source when present, for example a hardware RNG.
