Changed this locally to AVERROR(ENOSYS), which is the more correct error
value if nothing below is available.
Will send a v3 with that change after this one is reviewed anyway since
this code is delicate and i want to push exactly what was approved.

av_random seems like a pretty generic name for something thats
requiring to be cryptographically secure and otherwise fail. I would
expect a more specific name for that purpose. There is plenty other
uses of randomness in multimedia, noise, dithering, etc, which don't
need crypto security. The function doesn't have to handle those, but
maybe it should be specific in what it does handle?

Maybe av_random_buf()? I don't want too much bikeshedding on the name.

if the intend is that this is ONLY "cryptographically secure" PRNGs then
maybe av_csprng_buf()
would be an idea for a name

Many things microsoft did are stupid, but not doing something just because
microsoft did it is even more stupid. If everything ms did were stupid they
would be bankrupt already.

Maybe it is cleaner if you also use ffmpeg error codes for this function,
and no special -1, 1 or 0 return value.

As Anton pointed out, this can read less than requested. I suggest using
avpriv_fopen_utf8() and fread(), that should loop reading internally
until the whole length is filled.
