Set Acct-Session-Id from os_get_random() instead of os_get_time()

So that systems with bad clocks will send random session IDs,
instead of always ones starting at the same second.

If os_get_random() isn't available, use os_get_time(). But also
mix in now.tv_usec, so that the accounting session ID is more
likely to be globally and temporally unique.
