Stop calling evdns_set_random_bytes_fn()

This function has been a no-op since Libevent 2.0.4-alpha, when
libevent got an arc4random() implementation.  Libevent has finally
removed it, which will break our compilation unless we stop calling
it.  (This is currently breaking compilation in OSS-fuzz.)

Closes #40371.
