add a dummy seed_rng to placate HP-UX's linker

Since the patch uses strlcpy the linker now must pull in libopenbsd-compat for
ssh-rand-helper for platforms that don't have it natively.

Unfortunately, it appears that the HP-UX linker wants to resolve all of the
external symbols even if they're only used in functions not ultimately used in
the binary, and blows up thusly:

gcc -o ssh-rand-helper ssh-rand-helper.o -L. -Lopenbsd-compat/
-L/usr/local/ssl/lib  -lssh -lopenbsd-compat -lcrypto -lz -lnsl -lxnet	-lsec
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
   seed_rng (first referenced in
openbsd-compat//libopenbsd-compat.a(bsd-arc4random.o)) (code)

The attached patch adds a dummy seed_rng.  With this patch and #760 it builds
OK.
