Use RAND_poll() for seeding randomness after fork().

OpenSSL deprecated RAND_cleanup(), and OpenSSL 1.1.0 made it into a
no-op.  Replace it with RAND_poll(), per an OpenSSL community
recommendation.  While this has no user-visible consequences under
OpenSSL defaults, it might help under non-default settings.
