[PATCH] gnu: Add haveged.

[Tobias Geerinckx-Rice]

* gnu/packages/linux.scm (haveged): New variable.

Hullo Guix,

- A package for haveged, for those who trust it.

- A question about licencing, for those with more knowledge than me.

Quoth Debian[1]:

How'd I best encode these (presumably FSDG-compliant) licences?

Kind regards,

T G-R
