Simplify vlc_rand_bytes on Windows

Steve Lhomme requested to merge robUx4/vlc:win_vlc_rand into master

Use system preferred RNG and skip the unnecessary initialization steps (in this context, which is definitely not security related) The vlc_rand_bytes function is now about 55x faster when called repeatedly in a loop See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/bcrypt/nf-bcrypt-bcryptgenrandom for more details
