Jesse Haber-Kucharsky 9d27045c76 auth: Shorten random_device instance life-span
On Fedora 28, creating an instance of `std::random_device` opens a file
descriptor for `/dev/urandom` (observed via `strace`).

By declaring static thread-local instances of `std::random_device`,
these descriptors will be open (barring optimization by the compiler)
for the entire duration of the Scylla process's life.

However, the `std::random_device` instance is only necessary for
initializing the `RandomNumberEngine` for generating salts. With this
change, the file-descriptor is closed immediately after the engine is
initialized.

I considered generalizing this pattern of initialization into a
function, but with only two uses (and simple ones) I think this would
only obscure things.
