The internal function that's used to detect known file extensions for
the default Content-Type got the the wrong pointer passed in when
CURLFORM_BUFFER + CURLFORM_BUFFERPTR were used. This had the effect that
strlen() would be used which could lead to an out-of-bounds read (and
thus segfault). In most cases it would only lead to it not finding or
using the correct default content-type.
It also showed that test 554 and test 587 were testing for the
previous/wrong behavior and now they're updated as well.

When doing multi-part formposts, libcurl used a pseudo-random value that
was seeded with time(). This turns out to be bad for users who formpost
data that is provided with users who then can guess how the boundary
string will look like and then they can forge a different formpost part
and trick the receiver.
My advice to such implementors is (still even after this change) to not
rely on the boundary strings being cryptographically strong. Fix your
code and logic to not depend on them that much!
I moved the Curl_rand() function into the sslgen.c source file now to be
able to take advantage of the SSL library's random function if it
provides one. If not, try to use the RANDOM_FILE for seeding and as a
last resort keep the old logic, just modified to also add microseconds
which makes it harder to properly guess the exact seed.
The formboundary() function in formdata.c is now using 64 bit entropy
for the boundary and therefore the string of dashes was reduced by 4
letters and there are 16 hex digits following it. The total length is
thus still the same.

When doing a multipart formpost with a read callback, and that callback
returns CURL_READFUNC_ABORT, that return code must be properly
propagated back and handled accordingly. Previously it would be handled
as a zero byte read which would cause a hang!
Added test case 587 to verify. It uses the lib554.c source code with a
small ifdef.
