[Bug 2143932] [NEW] Rename jitter entropy variables to userspace entropy

[Eric Berry]

Public bug reported:

if a kernel is present that is ubuntu distributed and fips enabled,
OpenSSL should be configured to run using entropy provided by the
kernel. if there is no kernel present that is fips enabled (eg. in a
container), OpenSSL should use entropy provided by the userspace entropy
library.

Previously it was assumed we would use the jitter entropy library to
provide userspace entropy. We are discussing using a different
implementation, so we don't variable names to reflect the something we
are not using.

** Affects: openssl (Ubuntu)
