    libstdc++: Use RDRAND as fallback if RDSEED keeps failing (PR 94087)
    
    It's not difficult for multiple threads to drain the entropy available
    to the RDSEED instruction, at which point we throw an exception. This
    change will try to use RDRAND after RDSEED fails repeatedly, and only
    throw if RDRAND also fails repeatedly. This doesn't guarantee a random
    value can always be read, but reduces the likelihood of failure when
    using the RDSEED instruction.
    
            PR libstdc++/94087
            * src/c++11/random.cc (__x86_rdseed): Allow fallback function to be
            passed in.
            (__x86_rdseed_rdrand): New function that uses rdseed with rdrand
            fallback.
            (random_device::_M_init): Use __x86_rdseed_rdrand when both
            instructions are available.
            * testsuite/26_numerics/random/random_device/94087.cc: New test.
