RFR 8212867: Link to DRBG test vectors is redirected to a broken link

I'd like to refine the patch a little to

While "Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program" is the main title shown on the page, it looks like the secondary header "CAVP Testing: Random Number Generators" is more precise and matches the URL. I also change the test vectors name to "DRBG Test Vectors" because the section could contain more links to other RNG test vectors.

Sorry for the quick update.

Thanks

The page is quite concise and has a section named "Test Vectors" containing the link to the zip file. The zip file has actually no version info but the content shows the data was generated on 2015-11-04. I'd like to keep the date info in case the test vectors are updated some day.
