(MFC) Fortuna PRNG Generate Random Encoded

Demonstrates how to generate random bytes using the Fortuna PRNG. The random bytes are returned in an encoded string (using an encoding such as hex, base64, base58, etc.)

    // be periodically added as more pseudorandom data is generated.

    // from /dev/random.  On MS Windows systems, it uses the Crypto API's
