I noticed that the contrib Makefiles were reorganized.

Converted pgcrypto one too.

* Changed default randomness source to libc random()
  That way pgcrypto does not have any external dependencies
  and should work everywhere.
* Re-enabled pgcrypto build in contrib/makefile
* contrib/README update - there is more stuff than
  only 'hash functions'
* Noted the libc random fact in README.pgcrypto

Edit makefile, if you want to use any external library.
NB! Default randomness source is /dev/urandom device. If you
do not have it, you also need to edit Makefile to let pgcrypto
use either OpenSSL PRNG or libc random() PRNG. Using libc random()
is discouraged.
NB! Default randomness source is libc random() function. This
is so only to get pgcrypto build everywhere. Randomness is
needed for gen_salt() function. So if you plan using it, you
should definitely change that by editing Makefile. You should
be using urandom device if your OS supports it, otherwise link
pgcrypto against OpenSSL library and use its PRNG.
After editing Makefile:
