This switches `wasi:http/proxy` from just using `wasi:random/random` to also including `wasi:random/insecure` and `wasi:random/insecure-seed`. These "insecure" interfaces allow applications which need random numbers for purposes other than cryptography or UUIDs to request them, which can give hosts more flexibility when running in environments with scarce entropy, such as early boot environments. These interfaces should be easy to support in any host that already supports `wasi:random/random`. They permit alternate implementation strategies, but don't require them.
