prng: support getrandom & getentropy
If the C library supports these random functions, use them directly
instead of reading the /dev/urandom file. This makes life easier on
platforms that don't have /dev/urandom (like WASM).
commit 8e472066be935927f69e7e172947b3c5a2f46738

select: use SA_RESTART with signals
Rely on the OS to automatically restart syscalls that were interrupted
by signals. This makes code overall more robust because we don't have
to explicitly handle EINTR everywhere ourselves.

client: drop NACL check
Since Chrome has completely dropped NaCl support now on all platforms,
there's no sense in continuing to support it in mosh.

Fix compile failure on MacOS X
std::shared_ptr::unique() is deprecated in C++17 and removed in C++20.
Inspired by PR#1362.
Snippet of the failure:
```

Drop the -pedantic flag from CXX_FLAGS
Abseil uses certain compiler extensions intentionally (see abseil/abseil-cpp#157) so it triggers multiple warnings enabled by -pedantic (-Wnullability-extension, -Wgcc-compat, -Wvariadic-macro-arguments-omitted at a minimum) as seen in #1373.

clang-format Mosh
Run clang-format over the Mosh source tree. This is a large change and
has been factored into its own commit for auditability. Reproduce it
with
find . -name \*.cc -or -name \*.h | while read f; do clang-format -i --style=file $f; done

Add a clang-format file and prepare for clang-formatting
Create .clang-format to describe the current C++ style used in Mosh.
Mark one carefully-formatted array with `// clang-format off`. Also turn
off clang-format in src/crypto/ocb_internal.cc, since it was imported
almost wholesale from another project and is written in a style
different from the rest of Mosh.

Switch to fully-qualified #include
Previously, mosh used extensive -I flags and all of the mosh-local
makes it really hard to tell what the proper dependency graph is, so
instead remove the -I arguments in favvor of $(top_srcdir) and qualify
the paths wherever they are used.

Rename VERSION to VERSION.stamp
-I$(top_srcdir) is not usable on macOS due to a conflicting C++ header
`version`.

Bump C++ version to C++17
Protobuf versions since 3.6.0 have long had a C++11 dependency; even
more recent versions have picked up an Abseil dependency bumping that
to C++14. Since it is now 2023, defaulting to C++17 is reasonable, so
remove the conditional C++ standards version check that mosh
previously had and replace it with an unconditional C++17 check.
This means that all future commits can use C++17 features. According
to https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support/17 this means
that minimum effective compiler versions for mosh become:
gcc 7 (May 2017)
clang 5 (September 2017)
This, in turn, implies that future versions of mosh will no longer be
available for RHEL/CentOS 7 (June 2014).
