conf: Drop restrictions on rng backend path

Currently we only allow /dev/random and /dev/hwrng as host input
for <rng><backend model='random'/> device. This was added after
various upstream discussions in commit 4932ef45

However this restriction has generated quite a few complaints over
the years, so a new discussion was initiated:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-April/msg00987.html

Several people suggested removing the restriction, and nobody really
spoke up to defend it. So this patch drops the path restriction
entirely
