lighttpd starts at priority 50, but promptly calls getrandom() on
initialization (li_rand_reseed() and li_rand_device_bytes() from
server_init()). If /dev/urandom (which getrandom() uses by default)
doesn't have sufficient entropy, this will block.
Since Openwrt runs the startup scripts serially, this can block
initialization indefinitely. I've seen 15-20 minutes typically.
Seeding the pool early on can quickly built sufficient entropy to
complete booting without blocking.

- typo in path of uci-defaults scripts
- fix init script when there is no rngd config
- convert init script to procd

Enabling the default configuration will pipe /dev/urandom back into
/dev/random ala the current package behavior. Because this amounts to
disabling the in-kernel entropy estimation, default disabled.
While here, uci-paramaterize the high watermark.
While here, add a pre-command hook for real RNGs that need 'stty raw'
or other such hooks. (e.g. the TrueRNG devices)
