Jay Satiro 1cafede9f2 rand: treat fake entropy the same regardless of endianness
When the random seed is purposely made predictable for testing purposes
by using the CURL_ENTROPY environment variable, process that data in an
endian agnostic way so the the initial random seed is the same
regardless of endianness.

- Change Curl_rand to write to a char array instead of int array.

- Add Curl_rand_hex to write random hex characters to a buffer.

Fixes #1315
Closes #1468
