The oversampling rate (OSR) value specifies the heuristically implied entropy in the recorded data - H_submitter = 1/osr. A different entropy estimate implies a different APT/RCT cutoff value. This change adds support for OSRs 1 through 15. This OSR can be selected by the caller of the Jitter RNG. For this patch, the caller still uses one hard-coded OSR. A subsequent patch allows this value to be configured. In addition, the power-up self test is adjusted as follows: * It allows the caller to provide an oversampling rate that should be tested with - commonly it should be the same as used for the actual runtime operation. This makes the power-up testing therefore consistent with the runtime operation. * It calls now jent_measure_jitter (i.e. collects the full entropy that can possibly be harvested by the Jitter RNG) instead of only jent_condition_data (which only returns the entropy harvested from the conditioning component). This should now alleviate reports where the Jitter RNG initialization thinks there is too little entropy. * The power-up test now solely relies on the (enhanced) APT and RCT test that is used as a health test at runtime. The code allowing the different OSRs as well as the power-up test changes are present in the user space version of the Jitter RNG 3.4.1 and thus was already in production use for some time.
