The current code provides a workaround for the absence of RAND_status in
OpenSSL versions before 0.9.5. The comments in the code indicate these
versions have to be supported, but as these versions are now more than
20 years old, this no longer applies. Removing this support simplifies the
code and
When mutt needs a random number (for example for naming the tmp files or
generating a boundary for MIME attachments) it currently uses different
implementation specific functions: random() and either lrand48() or rand()
are used. Which one gets used in specific and the quality of its randomness
is

This also removes the check for RAND_egd, which we still want.
