ssl: Remove use of crypto:rand_bytes/1
ssl already used crypto:strong_rand_bytes/1 for most operations as its use cases are mostly cryptographical. Now crypto:strong_rand_bytes/1 will be used everywhere. However crypto:rand_bytes/1 was used as fallback if crypto:strong_rand_bytes/1 throws low_entropy, this will no longer be the case. This is a potential incompatibility. The fallback was introduced a long time ago for interoperability reasons. Now days this should not be a problem, and if it is, the security compromise is not acceptable anyway.
