Vladis Dronov c69c485eff Disable jitter entropy source by default
Almost all modern CPUs have a hardware randomness source in some form.
Most of virtual machines have /dev/hwrng provided by a virtual host.
The jitter entropy source is just eating CPU cycles in such cases, so
disable it by default. It can be enabled explicitly for the older
hardware without hardware entropy (like the Athlon FX CPU).
