When reseeding the DPRNG, we're supposed to hash the current key and
some accumulated entropy twice and use that as the new key. Due to a typo, we were using the output of the first hash round instead of the second. Correct this, but eliminate temp[] since we can reuse hash[]. Also add comments explaining what is going on and why.
