Remove configure switch --disable-strong-random
Michael Paquier <michael@paquier.xyz>
Remove configure switch --disable-strong-random This removes a portion of infrastructure introduced by fe0a0b5 to allow compilation of Postgres in environments where no strong random source is available, meaning that there is no linking to OpenSSL and no /dev/urandom (Windows having its own CryptoAPI). No systems shipped this century lack /dev/urandom, and the buildfarm is actually not testing this switch at all, so just remove it. This simplifies particularly some backend code which included a fallback implementation using shared memory, and removes a set of alternate regression output files from pgcrypto.
