Following in the footsteps of what whas done for vhost-user-i2c
and virtiofsd, introduce a random number generator (RNG) backend
that communicates with a vhost-user server to retrieve entropy.
That way another VMM could be using the same vhost-user daemon and
avoid having to write yet another RNG driver.

FWIW there are simple merge failures for the meson and Kconfig parts due
to I2C being merged.

g_new0 will abort on memory allocation failure (which is fine for
userspace ;-) so you don't need the check and erro handling exit here.

Right, merging I2C before this set will definitely break things.
