Use BCRYPT_RNG_ALG_HANDLE by default

Also briefly document the history of `sys/windows/rand.rs` as they may be relevant to any future changes.

//! # Random key generation
//!
//! This module wraps the RNG provided by the OS. There are a few different
//! ways to interface with the OS RNG so it's worth exploring each of the options.
//! Note that at the time of writing these all go through the (undocumented)
//! `bcryptPrimitives.dll` but they use different route to get there.
//!
//! Originally we were using [`RtlGenRandom`], however that function is
//! deprecated and warns it "may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions".
//!
//! So we switched to [`BCryptGenRandom`] with the `BCRYPT_USE_SYSTEM_PREFERRED_RNG`
//! flag to query and find the system configured RNG. However, this change caused a small
//! but significant number of users to experience panics caused by a failure of
//! this function. See [#94098].
//!
//! The current version changes this to use the `BCRYPT_RNG_ALG_HANDLE`
//! [Pseudo-handle], which gets the default RNG algorithm without querying the
//! system preference thus hopefully avoiding the previous issue.
//! This is only supported on Windows 10+ so a fallback is used for older versions.
//!
