[PATCH 7/8] DRBG: remove configuration of fixed values

[Stephan Mueller]

SP800-90A mandates several hard-coded values. The old drbg_cores allows
the setting of these values per DRBG implementation. However, due to the
hard requirement of SP800-90A, these values are now returned globally
for each DRBG.

The ability to set such values per DRBG is therefore removed.
