getrandom: Doc and test tweaks.
* lib/getrandom.c (getrandom): Mention that it never returns 0, and that
it sets errno when failing.
* tests/test-getrandom.c (main): Disable the high-quality check on those
platforms on which it fails.
* doc/glibc-functions/getrandom.texi: Add Minix, AIX, HP-UX, IRIX,
Cygwin to the list of platforms that don't have the function. Add a note
about the quality of the result.
* doc/glibc-headers/sys_random.texi: Don't mention the 'getrandom'
declaration; this is fixed by module 'getrandom'.
