Bring across the comment that was in runqemu regarding why the
virtio-rng-pci device was needed. This comment is added to each location
where the virtio-rng-pci device is added.

This patch is due to a review comment where Khem suggested on a previous
patch that the script comment should be carried with the moving of where
"-device virtio-rng-pci" was added. That patch
(e890c05e66a21702e9e8ccce794b74cb7f5518ed) appears to have already been
merged so instead of a v2 to that this is the follow up.
