/**
 * \brief               HMAC_DRBG initial seeding.
 *
 * Set the initial seed and set up the entropy source for future reseeds.
 *
 * A typical choice for the \p f_entropy and \p p_entropy parameters is
 * to use the entropy module:
 * - \p f_entropy is mbedtls_entropy_func();
 * - \p p_entropy is an instance of ::mbedtls_entropy_context initialized
 *   with mbedtls_entropy_init() (which registers the platform's default
 *   entropy sources).
 *
 * You can provide a personalization string in addition to the
 * entropy source, to make this instantiation as unique as possible.
 *
 * \note                By default, the security strength as defined by NIST is:
 *                      - 128 bits if \p md_info is SHA-1;
 *                      - 192 bits if \p md_info is SHA-224;
 *                      - 256 bits if \p md_info is SHA-256, SHA-384 or SHA-512.
 *                      Note that SHA-256 is just as efficient as SHA-224.
 *                      The security strength can be reduced if a smaller
 *                      entropy length is set with
 *                      mbedtls_hmac_drbg_set_entropy_len().
 *
 * \note                The default entropy length is the security strength
 *                      (converted from bits to bytes). You can override
 *                      it by calling mbedtls_hmac_drbg_set_entropy_len().
 *
 * \note                During the initial seeding, this function calls
 *                      the entropy source to obtain a nonce
 *                      whose length is half the entropy length.
 *
 * \param ctx           HMAC_DRBG context to be seeded.
 * \param md_info       MD algorithm to use for HMAC_DRBG.
 * \param f_entropy     The entropy callback, taking as arguments the
 *                      \p p_entropy context, the buffer to fill, and the
 *                      length of the buffer.
 *                      \p f_entropy is always called with a length that is
 *                      less than or equal to the entropy length.
 * \param p_entropy     The entropy context to pass to \p f_entropy.
 * \param custom        The personalization string.
 *                      This can be \c NULL, in which case the personalization
 *                      string is empty regardless of the value of \p len.
 * \param len           The length of the personalization string.
 *                      This must be at most #MBEDTLS_HMAC_DRBG_MAX_INPUT
