Make less-safe work on espidf

[coder0xff]

The espidf platforms don't have an (always working) hardware RNG. #1787 plans to work around this by implementing a software CSPRNG to support such platforms. In the meantime, however, this PR enables the "less-safe-getrandom-custom-or-rdrand" feature to be used with espidf.

[briansmith]

I think we should change this to have its own feature, less-safe-getrandom-espidf. We should also add documentation for the feature about why it is "less safe": based on the espidf documentation, it isn't clear that the espidf PRNG is strong enough to consider a CSPRNG.

I've updated the PR with your corrections

Great, thanks! How can I install the tools needed to cross-compile for this target so I can test that this at least builds?

The rustfmt job is complaining about this line (trailing whitespace?).

[briansmith]

Thanks for doing this. This LGTM as soon as the CI passes. See the comment above about rustfmt. I would also appreciate your help in getting this target building (mk/cargo.sh test --norun, at least) in GitHub Actions, if you can.

[briansmith]

@coder0xff Could you please rebase this, cargo fmt to fix the CI error, and then squash the commits into one? Then I can merge this. Thanks!

[coder0xff]

I'll make some time this weekend. Thanks for your patience!

Rebased and formatted. Does GitHub have an option to squash on merge? I couldn't find it.

Great, thanks! How can I install the tools needed to cross-compile for this target so I can test that this at least builds?

I used the guide at https://docs.esp-rs.org/book/installation/riscv-and-xtensa.html

I would also appreciate your help in getting this target building (mk/cargo.sh test --norun, at least) in GitHub Actions, if you can.

I don't have any experience with GitHub actions. I do have a simple test project that I've been using to build for the esp32s3 target.

@briansmith Does everything look good?
