/**
* ChaCha_RNG is a very fast but completely ad-hoc RNG created by
* creating a 256-bit random value and using it as a key for ChaCha20.
*
* The RNG maintains two 256-bit keys, one for HMAC_SHA256 (HK) and the
* other for ChaCha20 (CK). To compute a new key in response to
* reseeding request or add_entropy calls, ChaCha_RNG computes
* CK' = HMAC_SHA256(HK, input_material)
* Then a new HK' is computed by running ChaCha20 with the new key to
* output 32 bytes:
* HK' = ChaCha20(CK')
*
* Now output can be produced by continuing to produce output with ChaCha20
* under CK'
*
* The first HK (before seeding occurs) is taken as the all zero value.
*
* @warning This RNG construction is probably fine but is non-standard.
* The primary reason to use it is in cases where the other RNGs are
* not fast enough.
