Do not use HP_TIMING_NOW for random bits
This patch removes the HP_TIMING_BITS usage for fast random bits and replace
with clock_gettime (CLOCK_MONOTONIC).  It has unspecified starting time and
nano-second accuracy, so its randomness is significantly better than
gettimeofday.

Althoug it should incur in more overhead (specially for architecture that
support hp-timing), the symbol is also common implemented as a vDSO.

Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu, x86_64-linux-gnu, and i686-linux-gnu. I also
checked on a i686-gnu build.

	* include/random-bits.h: New file.
	* resolv/res_mkquery.c [HP_TIMING_AVAIL] (RANDOM_BITS,
	(__res_context_mkquery): Remove usage hp-timing usage and replace with
	random_bits.
	* resolv/res_send.c [HP_TIMING_AVAIL] (nameserver_offset): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/posix/tempname.c [HP_TIMING_AVAIL] (__gen_tempname):
	Likewise.
