Support daemon for hardware random device

Edit Package rng-tools

This daemon feeds data from a random number generator to the kernel's
random number entropy pool, after first checking the data to
ensure that it is properly random.

- 90-hwrng.rules: Improve udev rule, autostart rngd only
  when there are hwrng drivers available and one is actually
  bound to the device.
- enable aarch64 as well

- Enable Power64 architecture. Starting with Power7+ we have in 
  CPU random number generator 
  check for signals in all loops to react to SIGINT/SIGTERM

- Apparently --fill-watermark expects a number between 0 and 4096
  now. So we now set it to 3700 which is ~90% of 4096.

- Update to version 5
  * Support RDRAND capable systems that don't have AES-NI
  * Man page spelling fixes
  * Don't use fixed AES key for data reduction
  * Platform: Support x32. x86-64 micro-optimizations.
  * Fix RDRAND data reduction
  * Enable RDSEED instruction
- Add libgcrypt dependency needed for RDRAND
- Add back --fill-watermark=90% to the service file
- Package NEWS file
- Spec cleanup

- package is needed on %arm (raspberry pi at least).

- systemd: Do not start in containers, in that case 
  entropy comes from the "host"
- systemd: Conflict with haveged, only one entropy daemon
  must be running.
