[Chicken-hackers] Patch to use better PRNG on BSD's |

I noticed that chicken uses old rand / srand functions when better
alternatives are present.
Patch makes BSD's use arc4random instead of rand.
I'm not 100% sure this is correct so test, at least the Mac OS X part
as it doesn't have arc4random_uniform() function.
Builds and seems to work OK on OpenBSD when applied to 4.7.0 version.
