These two options were only ever used for the OpenSSL backend for versions before 1.1.0. They were never used for other backends and they are not used with recent OpenSSL versions. They were never used much by applications. The defines RANDOM_FILE and EGD_SOCKET can still be set at build-time for ancient EOL OpenSSL versions. Closes #8670
