- Disable randomly failing ENT test bnc#876674 - Added patches: * haveged-conditional-enttest.patch - Threads seem not to fix the random testsuite fail. - Fix "stop" of service, the daemon in foreground actually exits with a weird exit code. workaround this misbehaviour in the service file. - revert to non-forking service, "forking" services are racy and provided by systemd purely for compatibility with old daemons. see daemon(7) for the rationale. Only "simple" (default) and "notify" services must be used if possible. - Also, there is no haveged.conf around, neither such file is parsed by the daemon at all. - Start the daemon as soon as the random device is available with the help of udev, as starting services while starved of entropy is no good.

Haveged is no longer necessary since around kernel 5.6.. at least we need to drop the udev rules, never activate it as default and drop all the initrd parts.
