feedRandom should use an entropy pool instead of XORing the data with the key #14

The current method is simple, but probably also insecure. The reason I didn't do that already is that I'm getting stack corruption for some reason, which probably indicates a bigger issue

Spinel was since rewritten in Rust, so this is no longer an issue.
