akr b867882a1c SecureRandom.alphanumeric implemented.
[ruby-core:68098] [Feature #10849] proposed by Andrew Butterfield.

SecureRandom.choose and SecureRandom.graph is not included.
(The implementation has SecureRandom.choose but it is private.)

I feel the method name, SecureRandom.choose, doesn't represent
the behavior well.

The actual use cases of SecureRandom.graph is not obvious.

[Feature #8661] [experimental]

openssl library is guaranteed compiled, otherwise the build fails
abnormally.
Note however to always add the ",+" at the end of the argument.
Otherwise nothing but openssl are built. [Feature #13302]
