Generating random data: Document use of getrandom(2) on FreeBSD #99

Closed cemeyer closed 4 years ago

Libsodium uses getrandom(2) on recent (2018/12 and newer) versions of FreeBSD, as well as recent versions of Linux. So amend the text, which previously incorrectly suggested /dev/urandom was used on FreeBSD.
