Subject: [PATCH] meson: wire up `extra_libs` option

This is more elegant as a meson feature option because feature options
propagate in a useful way to `dependency(..., required: ...)`.

Without this, the option was ignored. Wiring it up naively meant that
disabling it still searched for libbsd as well, so a feature option
is the best fit.

Also, mark it as a dependency of `arc4random`.
