IHMO we only need two functions. os.urandom() is now documented as the reference for security. So we need a new function. I proposed a new urandom() parameter, but a new function without parameter would also be ok. If os.getrandom() is directly a binding of Linux/Solaris getrandom(), I will not use it since it would not be portable.
