Windows, `/dev/urandom` on nix). If you wish to be entirely portable define
`ED25519_NO_SEED`. This disables the `ed25519_create_seed` function, so if your
application requires key generation you must supply your own seeding function
(which is simply a 256 byte cryptographic random number generator).
