[kvm-unit-tests PATCH v9 4/9] lib: add isaac prng library from CCAN

It's often useful to introduce some sort of random variation when
testing several racing CPU conditions. Instead of each test implementing
some half-arsed PRNG bring in a a decent one which has good statistical
randomness. Obviously it is deterministic for a given seed value which
is likely the behaviour you want.

I've pulled in the ISAAC library from CCAN:

    http://ccodearchive.net/info/isaac.html

I shaved off the float related stuff which is less useful for unit
testing and re-indented to fit the style. The original license was
CC0 (Public Domain) which is compatible with the LGPL v2 of
kvm-unit-tests.
