Description
### Description
RSA key generation uses high quality entropy provided to OTBN from EDN. SW lib currenlty does not support generating a key based on a SW-provided seed

Research direction
Start by locating the cryptolib RSA key-generation path and reviewing how OTBN receives high-quality entropy from EDN. Compare that path with the software library boundary and define the caller-provided seed behavior before implementation; done means software can generate RSA keys from a provided seed, with coverage for the seeded path.
