std: Update randomness implementation on Windows
This commit updates the OS random number generator on Windows to match the
upstream implementation in the `rand` crate. First proposed in
rust-lang-nursery/rand#111 this implementation uses a "private" API of
`RtlGenRandom`. Despite the [documentation][dox] indicating this is a private
function its widespread use in Chromium and Firefox as well as [comments] from
Microsoft internally indicates that it's highly unlikely to break.

Another motivation for switching this is to also attempt to make progress
on #44911. It may be the case that this function succeeds while the previous
implementation may fail in "weird" scenarios.
