    stdlib: Tuned down tst-arc4random-thread internal parameters
    
    With new arc4random implementation, the internal parameters might
    require a lot of runtime and/or trigger some contention on older
    kernels (which might trigger spurious timeout failures).
    
    Also, since we are now testing getrandom entropy instead of an
    userspace RNG, there is no much need to extensive testing.
    
    With this change the tst-arc4random-thread goes from about 1m to
    5s on a Ryzen 9 with 5.15.0-41-generic.
    
    Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
