    dev-libs/json-c: Drop automagic libbsd dependency
    
    The only use of libbsd seems to be for additional arc4random function,
    so let's entirely avoid depending on libbsd.
    
    Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/841401

Thanks for catching this, I missed it while diffing the changes between versions! I do need to start using iwdevtools more :D
