random: make more consistent use of integer types

commit 04ec96b768c9dd43946b047c3da60dcc66431370 upstream.

We've been using a flurry of int, unsigned int, size_t, and ssize_t.
Let's unify all of this into size_t where it makes sense, as it does in
most places, and leave ssize_t for return values with possible errors.

In addition, keeping with the convention of other functions in this
file, functions that are dealing with raw bytes now take void *
consistently instead of a mix of that and u8 *, because much of the time
we're actually passing some other structure that is then interpreted as
bytes by the function.

We also take the opportunity to fix the outdated and incorrect comment
in get_random_bytes_arch().
