Subject: [PATCH] util: virrandom: make virRandomBits endian-safe

Make the generation of random bits in virRandomBits independent of the
endianness of the running architecture.

This also solves problems with the mocked random byte generation on
big-endian machines.

- ret &= (1ULL << nbits) - 1;
-    return ret;
+    return virReadBufInt64LE(ret) & ((1ULL << nbits) - 1);

Needs to be rebased on top of the fix that (1ULL << 64) is not defined.
