/**

* @ingroup sys
* @brief Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG)
*
* Various implementations of a PRNG are available:
* - Tiny Mersenne Twister (default)
* - Mersenne Twister
* - Simple Park-Miller PRNG
* - Musl C PRNG
* - Fortuna (CS)PRNG
* - Hardware Random Number Generator (non-seedable)
* HWRNG differ in how they generate random numbers and may not use a PRNG internally.
* Refer to the manual of your MCU for details.
*
* By default, the `auto_init_random` module is enabled, which initializes the
* PRNG on startup. However, there is no lower limit on the entropy provided at
* that time. Unless the `periph_hwrng` module is used, entropy may be as
* little as zero (the constant may even be the same across devices).
