Adds optional SEED-SRC provider algorithm that caches /dev/urandom file handle for fork-safe entropy, matching OpenSSL's default provider behavior. This enables wolfProvider to work in seccomp-sandboxed applications like OpenSSH where openat() is blocked after fork.
Key features:
Lazy /dev/urandom open on first entropy request
Thread-safe with mutex protection
Registers wolfSSL seed callback for fork detection
Disabled by default, enable with --enable-seed-src
