Refactor std.internal.entropy to provide reusable handles.

This allows a more efficient use of the module on certain platforms (for future code). To be fair, it might also make it slightly less efficient on others (e.g. Windows), though I think the reduction of TLS variables there might also be an improvement.

Please do not merge this yet. It needs further testing (that I haven’t performed yet). Also, I’d prefer v2.112.0 to have the non-handle version of module which should be easier to deal with in case of any regressions that may arise.
