net_util: Replace use of rand crate with libc::getrandom()

The rand crate provides a full cross platform true cryptographic random
number implementation. As such it brings it lots of othe dependencies
and increases our binary size and compile time. This is excessive for
generating a MAC address.

From the cargo tree output:

│   │   ├── rand v0.8.3
│   │   │   ├── libc v0.2.86
│   │   │   ├── rand_chacha v0.3.0
│   │   │   │   ├── ppv-lite86 v0.2.10
│   │   │   │   └── rand_core v0.6.0
│   │   │   │       └── getrandom v0.2.0
│   │   │   │           ├── cfg-if v0.1.10
│   │   │   │           └── libc v0.2.86
│   │   │   └── rand_core v0.6.0 (*)
