Nuxi CloudABI (https://github.com/NuxiNL/cloudlibc) does not allow
processes to access the global filesystem namespace. This breaks
random_device, as it attempts to use /dev/{u,}random. This change adds
support for arc4random(), which is present on CloudABI.
In my opinion it would also make sense to use arc4random() on other
operating systems, such as *BSD and Mac OS X, but I'd rather leave that
to the maintainers of the respective platforms. Switching to
arc4random() does change the ABI.
This change also attempts to make some cleanups to the code. It adds a
single #define for every random interface, instead of testing against
operating systems explicitly.
As discussed, also validate the token argument to be equal to
"/dev/urandom" on all systems that only provide pseudo-random numbers.
This should cause little to no breakage, as "/dev/urandom" is also the
default argument value.

Summary:
The NaCl sandbox doesn't allow opening files under /dev, but it offers an API which provides the same capabilities. This is the same random device emulation that nacl_io performs for POSIX support, but nacl_io is an optional library so libc++ can't assume that device emulation will be performed. Note that NaCl only supports /dev/urandom, not /dev/random.
This patch also cleans up some of the preprocessor #endif, and fixes the test for Win32 (it accepts any token, and would therefore never throw regardless of the token provided).

Make sure we appropriately retry calls to read if the return result is
less than what we asked for.
Additionally, check and handle IO errors: EINTR results in the read
operation getting restarted; other errors turn into exceptions.

random_device::random_device(const string&) wrongly assumes that open
can only validly return a file descriptor greater than zero.
This results in random_device believing that it didn't successfully open
the device causing it to throw in it's constructor, this ends up leaking
a file descriptor.
The fix is simple, don't error on file descriptors which are zero.

Solaris not providing some of the locales that the test suite uses.
Note: This depends on an xlocale (partial) implementation for Solaris and a
couple of fixed standard headers. These will be committed to a branch later
today.
