Slow deterministic random generator.

Some problems might require random deterministic generator, but this might be problematic due to brute-force attacks. This (deterministic) random generator addresses this problem by increasing it's work time.

Go version 1.15+

go get github.com/cristalhq/slowrand

seed := []byte("some-secure-seed")
rounds := 3
time := uint32(5)
memory := uint32(7)
threads := uint8(11)

r, err := slowrand.New(seed, rounds, time, memory, threads)
if err != nil {
    t.Fatal(err)
}

var buf [42]byte
n, err := r.Read(buf[:])
if n != 42 {
    panic("not 42")
}
_ = err // is always nil
