Currently only OpenSSL requires this initialization, but in the future other SSL implementations are likely to need it as well. Abstracting this functionality out into a separate function makes this cleaner and more clear, and also removes the dependency on OpenSSL headers from fork_process.c. OpenSSL is special in that we need to initialize this random number generator even if we're not going to use it directly, until we drop support for everything prior to OpenSSL 1.1.1. (And of course also if we actually use it). All other implementations are left empty at this time, but more are expected to be added in the future.
