This PR adds an optional and configurable data FIFO to the processor's true random number generator module (TRNG).
The TRNG requires at least 16x8=128 cycles to generate a new RND data bytes (see stnolting/neoTRNG for more information). The new optional FIFO provides something like a "random data pool" by constantly sampling data from the TRNG core.
