Martin Pulec f590145ed3 ug_srand->ug_rand_init (improved seeding)
On POSIX systems, add also clock() to the seed + use as a source also
/dev/random if available.

/**
* @file

* Remarks (possible improvements):
* - lbl_random reads from '/dev/urandom' instead if available (so Linux only)
* and HAVE_DEV_URANDOM defined (which isn't)
* - init_rng() in rtp.c used also hostname for seeding (but there may not be
* reasonable value, eg. '::1' if no host given to rcvr)
