build: warn on potentially uninitialized reads
Enable -Wconditional-uninitialized to warn on potentially uninitialized reads. Fix the sole such warning in Bitcoin Core in GetRdRand(): r1 would be set to 0 on rdrand failure, so initializing it to 0 is a non-functional change. From "Intel 64 and IA-32 ArchitecturesSoftware Developer's Manual" [1], page 1711: "CF=1 indicates that the data in the destination is valid. Otherwise CF=0 and the data in the destination operand will be returned as zeros for the specified width."
