Previously pseudoRandomBytes worked similarly to randomBytes but in the
event of insufficient entropy would silently return non-secure values.
As of f68a116, the entropy pool blocks if there is insufficient entropy
instead of giving an error so there is now no longer a case where
pseudoRandomBytes would act differently than randomBytes.
Docs are updated to remove pseudoRandomBytes and to clarify that
randomBytes now does block instead of erring when entropy is low.

Updates the docs for the crypto.pseudoRandomBytes function
to more explicitly detail how it's the same as crypto.randomBytes
just without a safety net (e.g. it doesn't throw an error when
there is low entropy).

`console.time()` and `console.timeEnd()` are very closely related. It's
useful to reference them both from each other.
Previously, console.time() did not mention that it needed to be paired
with a call to console.timeEnd() to be useful, and timeEnd() also failed
to mention that console.time() needed to be called first.
References in both directions have been added.
