Use FRC::randbytes instead of reading >32 bytes from RNG

Summary

There was only one place in the codebase where we're directly reading >32 bytes from
the RNG. One possibility would be to make the built-in RNG support large reads, but
using FastRandomContext lets us reuse code better.

There is no change in behavior here, because the FastRandomContext constructor
uses GetRandBytes internally.
