use SecRandomCopyBytes on macOS in Miri
This is a hack to fixrust-lang/miri#686: on macOS, rustc will open `/dev/urandom` to initialize a `HashMap`. That's quite hard to emulate properly in Miri without a full-blown implementation of file descriptors. However, Miri needs an implementation of `SecRandomCopyBytes` anyway to support [getrandom](https://crates.io/crates/getrandom), so using it here should work just as well.
This will only have an effect when libstd is compiled specifically for Miri, but that will generally be the case when people use `cargo miri`.
This is clearly a hack, so I am opening this to start a discussion about whether we are okay with such a hack or not.
