Allocate more space if necessary in RandSeedAddPerfMon 

Currently we use a fixed buffer of 250000 bytes to request
HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA. In many cases this is not enough, causing the
entropy collection to be skipped.

Use a loop that grows the buffer as specified in the RegQueryValueEx
documentation:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724911%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

(as the size of the performance data can differ for every call, the
normal solution of requesting the size then allocating that can't work)
