C# Class RandomOps.RandomDotOrgAsync

Similar to the RandomDotOrg-class, only this uses asynchronous retrieval of the random bytes, which is preferrable in time-critical applications. If bytes are not available in the downloaded buffer, then a thread is woken up to fill the buffer. In the meantime a Fallback RNG is used instead. Not thread-safe.

Be sure to call Dispose() after you are done using this RNG, so the worker-thread can be shut down properly. Also note that this class is not thread-safe with regard to multiple threads calling e.g. the Uniform() method simultaneously. To make it thread-safe in this manner, wrap it in a ThreadSafe-object.
