Get Libevent's PRNG functioning under the linux sandbox
Libevent uses an arc4random implementation (I know, I know) to generate DNS transaction IDs and capitalization. But it liked to initialize it either with opening /dev/urandom (which won't work under the sandbox if it doesn't use the right pointer), or with sysctl({CTL_KERN,KERN_RANDOM,RANDOM_UUIC}). To make _that_ work, we were permitting sysctl unconditionally. That's not such a great idea. Instead, we try to initialize the libevent PRNG _before_ installing the sandbox, and make sysctl always fail with EPERM under the sandbox.
