Android/Linux/rdrand: Use once_cell::race::OnceBool instead of LazyBool.
Remove src/lazy.rs. `lazy::LazyBool` had "Last to win the race" semantics; when multiple threads see an uninitialized LazyBool, all of them will calculate a value. As they finish, each one will overwrite the value set by the previous thread. If two threads calculate different values for the boolean, then the value of the boolean can change during the period where the threads are racing. This doesn't seem to be a huge issue with the way it is currently used, but it is hard to reason about. `once_cell::race::OnceBool` has "first to win the race" semantics. When multiple threads see an uninitialized OnceBool, all of them will calculate a vlaue. The first one to finish will write its value; the rest will have their work ignored. Thus there is never any change in the stored value at any point. This is much easier to reason about. The different semantics come down to the fact that once_cell uses `AtomicUsize::compare_exchange` whereas lazy.rs was using `AtomicUsize::store`.
