    Ensure OpenSSL entropy state reset across forks.


    Note that this function is never going to be called pre-fork unless the
    admin is doing something highly unusual with ${randint:..} in a context
    evaluated in the listening daemon.  Other forks should result in a
    re-exec(), thus resetting state.


    Nonetheless, be more cautious, explicitly reset state.


    Fix per PostgreSQL.


    PS: why does OpenSSL not document RAND_cleanup() on the same page as all
        the other entropy pool maintenance functions?
