This pull request also requires the use of the external [Cytoplasm](/Telodendria/Cytoplasm) repository by removing the in-tree copy of Cytoplasm. The increased modularity requires a little more complex build process, but is overall better. Closes#19
The appropriate documentation has been updated. Closes#18

The problem here is that some Matrix homeservers reject requests that don't
have a Content-Length. http was not sending a Content-Length because it was
reading from standard input. By reading from an actual file, we can actually
easily get the size of the file to send as the Content-Length.
This allows us to get rid of the hideous MATRIX_PATH_PART_EQUALS macro,
and prevents inconsistent usage of strcmp() (for example, !strcmp() vs
strcmp() == 0).
StrEquals() also has sensible behavior for dealing with NULL strings (it
doesn't just segfault like strcmp()).
This is a very early prototype. It works, but it is probably not efficient
or reliable. However, the documentation format it parses is stable, so I
will begin moving the documentation into the headers.
This implementation is loosely inspired by the original paper on the
Mersenne Twister, and borrows code from a public-domain implementation of
it, adapting it to fit the style of Telodendria's code, and fixing a few
bugs regarding the size of the data type used.
Neither C nor POSIX provide a good, thread-safe pseudorandom number
generator. The OpenBSD linker started complaining about the use of
rand_r(), and no standard alternative presented itself as worthy of
consideration, so I finally decided it was time to roll my own PRNG.
