random: use hash function for crng_slow_load()
Since we have a hash function that's really fast, and the goal of crng_slow_load() is reportedly to "touch all of the crng's state", we can just hash the old state together with the new state and call it a day. This way we dont need to reason about another LFSR or worry about various attacks there. This code is only ever used at early boot and then never again.
