Progress handler callback is very rarely (if ever) called when gathering entropy
for Linux. It's called only when there hasn't been any progress for last 3
seconds, but at least in my system that doesn't happen often. Attached patch
makes it report an update after every few bytes of data read from /dev/random. I
think rndunix.c should have a similar change.

I don't think it makes sense to backport it to 1.5 - it has been this way for so
long. Users of 1.5 should upgrade to 1.6.0.
