AESCounterRNG and Diehard testing improvements #16

Update: I've managed to build a Diehard target that can be run on Travis. It was a bit complicated, because Diehard has been replaced with Dieharder, which requires more random numbers than many cloud build environments will let us store, so I worked around the issue with a FIFO. Testing on Travis should be finished in a few hours. |

Update: travis-ci.org has a wall-time limit of 50 minutes per job (paying customers get 120 when running on Linux), which isn't enough time to run the dieharder tests on all 6 PRNGs. To get around this limit, I'm testing a refactored Ant file that creates a separate target for testing each PRNG, so that each one can be a separate Travis job (with a seventh one for all the unit tests). ant diehard will still test all six, and will now do so in parallel, but it won't be used on Travis. Since my .travis.yml currently tests on 4 different JVMs, we get 28 Travis jobs altogether. At my current allowance of 5 VMs at a time, everything should either finish or time out within 5 hours. |

I've fixed the serialization of AESCounterRNG. I've also added the ability to initialize the counter using part of the seed, so 40- and 48-byte seeds can now be used, and 32-byte seeds no longer require a policy file.
Also, ant diehard only worked on Mac because it was using that prepackaged binary, so I've changed it to use dieharder (which must be installed but is cross-platform).
