DRBG: clarify difference between entropy counts and buffer lengths

Unlike the NIST DRBG standard, entropy counts are in bits and
buffer lengths are in bytes. This has lead to some confusion and
errors in the past, see my comment on PR 3789.

To clarify the destinction between entropy counts and buffer lengths,
a 'len' suffix has been added to all member names of RAND_DRBG which
represent buffer lengths:

-   {min,max}_{entropy,adin,nonce,pers}
+   {min,max}_{entropy,adin,nonce,pers}len

This change makes naming also more consistent, as can be seen in the
diffs, for example:

-    else if (adinlen > drbg->max_adin) {
+    else if (adinlen > drbg->max_adinlen) {

Also replaced all 'ent's by 'entropy's, following a suggestion of Paul Dale.
