Kashyap Chamarthy 814bfd9372 conf: libvirt: Make `/dev/urandom` the default for 'rng_dev_path' 
Since libvirt 1.3.4, any RNG (Random Number Generator) device path (that
returns random numbers when read!) is accepted.  However, the
recommended source of entropy is `/dev/urandom` (it is non-blocking; and
doesn't have the same limitations of `dev/random`, which is a legacy
interface).

Therefore, make `/dev/urandom` the default RNG for 'rng_dev_path' config
attribute; adjust the relevant tests.  Also update the documention to
reflect this change.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

Developers

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst.

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests.
