[Patch] Implement sys::Process::GetRandomNumber on Windows

Hi,

This is a little patch that implements sys::Process::GetRandomNumber on 
Windows. Currently this function only has a Unix implementation.

The implementation uses the s_rand function, which is available on 
Windows XP and later. It's the same function that libc++ uses for 
implementing random_device on Windows.

Subject: Implement llvm::sys::Process::GetRandomNumber() for Windows

This function was already implemented for Unix. The implementation uses the
rand_s function, which according to MSDN is available on Windows XP and later.
libc++ also uses rand_s for implementing random_device. I've checked
that mingw-w64 supports rand_s.
