/// A wrapper around any PRNG that implements [`BlockRngCore`], that adds the
/// ability to reseed it.
///
/// `ReseedingRng` reseeds the underlying PRNG in the following cases:
///
/// - On a manual call to [`reseed()`].
/// - After `clone()`, the clone will be reseeded on first use.
/// - After a process is forked, the RNG in the child process is reseeded within
///   the next few generated values, depending on the block size of the
///   underlying PRNG. For ChaCha and Hc128 this is a maximum of
///   15 `u32` values before reseeding.
/// - After the PRNG has generated a configurable number of random bytes.
///
/// # When should reseeding after a fixed number of generated bytes be used?
///
/// Reseeding after a fixed number of generated bytes is never strictly
/// *necessary*. Cryptographic PRNGs don't have a limited number of bytes they
/// can output, or at least not a limit reachable in any practical way. There is
/// no such thing as 'running out of entropy'.
///
/// Occasionally reseeding can be seen as some form of 'security in depth'. Even
/// if in the future a cryptographic weakness is found in the CSPRNG being used,
/// or a flaw in the implementation, occasionally reseeding should make
/// exploiting it much more difficult or even impossible.
///
/// Use [`ReseedingRng::new`] with a `threshold` of `0` to disable reseeding
/// after a fixed number of generated bytes.
///
/// # Error handling
///
/// Although unlikely, reseeding the wrapped PRNG can fail. `ReseedingRng` will
/// never panic but try to handle the error intelligently through some
/// combination of retrying and delaying reseeding until later.
/// If handling the source error fails `ReseedingRng` will continue generating
/// data from the wrapped PRNG without reseeding.
///
/// Manually calling [`reseed()`] will not have this retry or delay logic, but
/// reports the error.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use rand::prelude::*;
/// use rand_chacha::ChaCha20Core; // Internal part of ChaChaRng that
///                              // implements BlockRngCore
/// use rand::rngs::OsRng;
/// use rand::rngs::adapter::ReseedingRng;
///
/// let prng = ChaCha20Core::from_entropy();
/// let mut reseeding_rng = ReseedingRng::new(prng, 0, OsRng);
///
/// println!("{}", reseeding_rng.gen::<u64>());
///
/// let mut cloned_rng = reseeding_rng.clone();
/// assert!(reseeding_rng.gen::<u64>() != cloned_rng.gen::<u64>());
