gajim OpenSSL.rand.load_file(str(RNG_SEED)) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'load_file'

[vm4866571246066832v]

starting gajim, I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gajim.py", line 307, in <module>

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'load_file'

A net search has several hits about this topic, some say it's an issue in an OpenSSL Python module, then there is a Gajim fix mentioned.

Because the code block regarding the rand seed is optional anyway, I added a catch of the exception to work around the problem.
