crosvm: virtio entropy device

Project Member Reported by za...@chromium.org, Aug 3 2017

Issue description

This is needed so that programs don't block on /dev/random for a very long time because of the low entropy inside the VM. If somebody starts this, make sure the status is changed.

I've got the basics thrown together, working on getting the kernel to load a driver.
