iposva@google.com 070d3dedf7 - Add a per-isolate pseudo random number generator to the
VM internals. This PRNG is not used to generate random
  numbers in Dart code.
- Use the PRNG to generate JIT cookies for large constants
  if needed during assembly.
- Add the possibility to set an external entropy source
  for the PRNG through the C API.
