The 'rand_generate' method is not well suited for being used with weak entropy sources in the 'get_entropy' callback, because the caller needs to provide a preallocated buffer without knowing how much bytes are actually needed to collect the required entropy. Instead we use the 'rand_get_seed' and 'rand_clear_seed' methods which were exactly designed for this purpose: it's the callee who allocates and fills the buffer, and finally cleans it up again. The 'rand_get_seed' and 'rand_clear_seed' methods are currently optional for a provided random generator. We could fall back to using 'rand_generate' if those methods are not implemented. However, imo it would be better to simply make them an officially documented requirement for seed sources.
