It includes the following policy changes:
* All GetRand* functions seed the stack pointer and rdrand result
(in addition to the performance counter)
* The periodic entropy added by the idle scheduler now seeds stack pointer,
rdrand and perfmon data (once every 10 minutes) in addition to
just a sleep timing.
* The entropy added when calling GetStrongRandBytes no longer includes
the once-per-10-minutes perfmon data on windows (it is moved to the
idle scheduler instead, where latency matters less).
Other changes:
* OpenSSL is no longer seeded directly anywhere. Instead, any generated
randomness through our own RNG is fed back to OpenSSL (after an
additional hashing step to prevent leaking our RNG state).
* Seeding that was previously done directly in RandAddSeedSleep is now
moved to SeedSleep(), which is indirectly invoked through ProcRand
from RandAddSeedSleep.
* Seeding that was previously done directly in GetStrongRandBytes()
is now moved to SeedSlow(), which is indirectly invoked through
ProcRand from GetStrongRandBytes().
This guarantees that OpenSSL is initialized properly whenever randomness
is used, even when that randomness is invoked from global constructors.
Note that this patch uses Mutex directly, rather than CCriticalSection.
This is because the lock-detection code is not necessarily initialized
during global constructors.
Call sync.h primitives "locks" and "mutexes" instead of "blocks" and "waitable
critical sections" to match current coding conventions and c++11 standard
names.
This PR does not rename the "CCriticalSection" class (though this could be done
as a followup) because it is used everywhere and would swamp the other changes
in this PR. Plain mutexes should mostly be preferred instead of recursive
mutexes in new code anyway.

b82c55a Add attribute [[noreturn]] (C++11) to functions that will not return (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
Add attribute `[[noreturn]]` (C++11) to functions that will not return.
Rationale:
* Reduce the number of false positives/false negatives from static analyzers with regards to things such as unused or unreachable code
* Potentially enable additional compiler optimizations

90d4d89 scripted-diff: Use the C++11 keyword nullptr to denote the pointer literal instead of the macro NULL (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
Since C++11 the macro `NULL` may be:
* an integer literal with value zero, or
* a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`
By using the C++11 keyword `nullptr` we are guaranteed a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`.
For a more thorough discussion, see "A name for the null pointer: nullptr" (Sutter &
Stroustrup), http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2431.pdf
With this patch applied there are no `NULL` macro usages left in the repo:
```
$ git grep NULL -- "*.cpp" "*.h" | egrep -v '(/univalue/|/secp256k1/|/leveldb/|_NULL|NULLDUMMY|torcontrol.*NULL|NULL cert)' | wc -l
0
```
The road towards `nullptr` (C++11) is split into two PRs:
* `NULL` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10483 (scripted, this PR)
* `0` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10645 (manual)

rbx needs to be stashed in a 64bit register on 64bit platforms. With this crash
in particular, it was holding a stack canary which was not properly restored
after the cpuid.
Split out the x86+PIC case so that x86_64 doesn't have to worry about it.
