Bug Fixes

• report a non-directory in the path as NotADirectory

• seed fast pseudo-random numbers to differ across processes
  gix-utils and gix-fs drew fast pseudo-random numbers from fastrand's
  global generators, whose per-thread seed is derived only from values that
  can coincide between separate processes (notably small thread IDs). Two
  concurrently running processes could therefore produce identical sequences,
  which weakens backoff jitter (meant to avoid a thundering herd of retries)
  and can make the filesystem capability probes collide on their temporary
  file names -- e.g. spuriously reporting that symlinks are unsupported (#1789).

  Add a gix_utils::rng module that draws from a per-thread fastrand::Rng
  seeded from a high-entropy OS source via getrandom, and route the affected
  call sites (backoff jitter and the gix-fs capability probes) through it.

  getrandom is a target-specific dependency that is excluded on
  wasm32-unknown-unknown, which has no entropy backend by default and runs a
  single process; there a best-effort seed is used that deliberately avoids
  Instant::now() (which panics on that target).
