avoid seeding

OpenSSL's man page previously stated that "the application is
responsible for seeding the PRNG by calling RAND_add" (see [1]).
So we had this code.  However things changed.  They no longer
say so, instead "manual (re-)seeding of the default OpenSSL
random generator is not necessary" now (see [2]).  It seems all
OpenSSL versions that we support now already behaves like this.
Let's follow that.
