hwrng: chaoskey - Add support for Araneus Alea I USB RNG

Adds support for the Araneus Alea I USB hardware Random Number
Generator which is interfaced with in exactly the same way as the
Altus Metrum ChaosKey.  We just add the appropriate device ID and
modify the config help text.

Say Y here if you want to connect an AltusMetrum ChaosKey to
your computer's USB port. The ChaosKey is a hardware random
number generator which hooks into the kernel entropy pool to
ensure a large supply of entropy for /dev/random and
/dev/urandom and also provides direct access via /dev/chaoskeyX

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called chaoskey.
