    rc.d/random: bring back rc.conf defaults, minor fixes
    
     * Saving the entropy across reboots is good practice to
       avoid having a lack of entropy after restarting the
       machine. For some reason, it has been disabled by default
       for ages now.
    
     * This commit brings back the defaults in rc.conf to enable
       saving entropy across reboots.
    
     * Minor fixes to rc.d/random, such as not assuming
       /var/db/entropy is a good place to put the entropy file,
       last but not least because:
        - that location is not checked on the start part of the script,
          so it won't ever be used.
        - /var/db/entropy is most of the time a directory, for the
          cron-based entropy collection.
