A cryptographically secure random number generator that uses the HC-128
algorithm.
HC-128 is a stream cipher designed by Hongjun Wu[^1], that we use as an
RNG. It is selected as one of the "stream ciphers suitable for widespread
adoption" by eSTREAM[^2].

## Crate Features
`rand_hc` is `no_std` compatible. It does not require any functionality
outside of the `core` lib, thus there are no features to configure.
