A cryptographically secure random number generator that uses the HC-128 algorithm.
HC-128 is a stream cipher designed by Hongjun Wu1, that we use as an RNG. It is selected as one of the "stream ciphers suitable for widespread adoption" by eSTREAM2.

rand_hc is no_std compatible. It does not require any functionality
outside of the core lib, thus there are no features to configure.
