I don't want to start another huge thread on python-dev unless really necessary. What should happen to random.SystemRandom?

(1) nothing, it stays as it is, and if ``secrets`` needs better, it can subclass it;

(2) it changes to use ``os.getrandom``, and then ``secrets`` can continue to expose ``SystemRandom``.

If it comes to a vote, I'm +1 on option 2.
