Michael Brown 74222cd2c1 [rng] Check for functioning RTC interrupt 
On some platforms (observed in a small subset of Microsoft Azure
(Hyper-V) virtual machines), the RTC appears to be incapable of
generating an interrupt via the legacy PIC.  The RTC status registers
show that a periodic interrupt has been asserted, but the PIC IRR
shows that IRQ8 remains inactive.

On such systems, iPXE will currently freeze during the "iPXE
initialising devices..." message.

Work around this problem by checking that RTC interrupts are being
raised before returning from rtc_entropy_enable().  If no interrupt is
seen within 100ms, then we assume that the RTC interrupt mechanism is
broken.  In these circumstances, iPXE will continue to initialise but
any subsequent attempt to generate entropy will fail.  In particular,
HTTPS connections will fail with an error indicating that no entropy
is available.
