51a3d0603c std.rand: set DefaultCsprng to Gimli, and require a larger seed
`DefaultCsprng` is documented as a cryptographically secure RNG.

While `ISAAC` is a CSPRNG, the variant we have, `ISAAC64` is not.
A 64 bit seed is a bit small to satisfy that claim.

We also saw it being used with the current date as a seed, that
also defeats the point of a CSPRNG.

Set `DefaultCsprng` to `Gimli` instead of `ISAAC64`, rename
the parameter from `init_s` to `secret_seed` + add a comment to
clarify what kind of seed is expected here.

Instead of directly touching the internals of the Gimli implementation
(which can change/be architecture-specific), add an `init()` function
to the state.

Our Gimli-based CSPRNG was also not backtracking resistant. Gimli
is a permutation; it can be reverted. So, if the state was ever leaked,
future secrets, but also all the previously generated ones could be
recovered. Clear the rate after a squeeze in order to prevent this.

Finally, a dumb test was added just to exercise `DefaultCsprng` since
we don't use it anywhere.

6f9ea9eaef Breaking: sort std/crypto functions into categories
Instead of having all primitives and constructions share the same namespace,
they are now organized by category and function family.

Types within the same category are expected to share the exact same API.

remove type coercion from array values to references
* Implements #3768. This is a sweeping breaking change that requires
   many (trivial) edits to Zig source code. Array values no longer
   coerced to slices; however one may use `&` to obtain a reference to
   an array value, which may then be coerced to a slice.

 * Adds `IrInstruction::dump`, for debugging purposes. It's useful to
   call to inspect the instruction when debugging Zig IR.

 * Fixes bugs with result location semantics. See the new behavior test
   cases, and compile error test cases.

 * Fixes bugs with `@typeInfo` not properly resolving const values.

 * Behavior tests are passing but std lib tests are not yet. There
   is more work to do before merging this branch.
