Remove ambiguity in rand_pool_add[_end] return value 



When these two functions returned zero, it could mean:

1. that an error occured.  In their case, the error is an overflow of
   the pool, i.e. the correct response from the caller would be to
   stop trying to fill the pool.
2. that there isn't enought entropy acquired yet, i.e. the correct
   response from the caller would be to try and add more entropy to
   the pool.

Because of this ambiguity, the returned zero turns out to be useless.
This change makes the returned value more consistent.  1 means the
addition of new entropy was successful, 0 means it wasn't.  To know if
the pool has been filled enough, the caller will have to call some
other function, such as rand_pool_entropy_available().

Fixes #5846
