crypto: Deprecate rand_bytes/1
OpenSSL has deprecated the function RAND_pseudo_bytes used by crypto:rand_bytes/1, so this function is now deprecated in OTP too. rand_bytes/3 also used this function, but was not documented so we can remove it right away. This commit also removes the fallback in generate_key to use rand_bytes/1 if strong_rand_bytes/1 throws low entropy. This is a potential incompatibility but we think it is desirable as crypto should provide cryptographically secure functions.
