Function silc_math_gen_prime SYNOPSIS
        int silc_math_gen_prime(SilcMPInt *prime, SilcUInt32 bits, bool verbose,
                                SilcRng);
DESCRIPTION
        Find appropriate prime. It generates a number by taking random bytes.
        It then tests the number that it's not divisible by any of the small
        primes and then it performs Fermat's prime test. I thank Rieks Joosten
        (r.joosten@pijnenburg.nl) for such a good help with prime tests.

        If argument verbose is TRUE this will display some status information
        about the progress of generation.  If the `rng' is NULL then global
        RNG is used, if non-NULL then `rng' is used to generate the random
        number number.
