 @function   ccrng
 @abstract   Initializes an AES-CTR mode cryptographic random number generator and returns the statically-allocated rng object.
             Getting a pointer to a ccrng has never been simpler!
             Call this function, get an rng object and then pass the object to ccrng_generate() to generate randoms.
             ccrng() may be called more than once. It returns pointer to the same object on all calls.

 @result  a cryptographically secure random number generator or NULL if fails

 @discussion
 - It is significantly faster than using the system /dev/random
 - FIPS Compliant: NIST SP800-90A + FIPS 140-2
 - Seeded from the system entropy.
 - Provides at least 128bit security if the system provide 2bit of entropy / byte.
 - Entropy accumulation
 - Backtracing resistance
 - Prediction break with frequent (asynchronous) reseed
