math/rand: deprecate Seed
Programs that call Seed and then expect a specific sequence
of results from the global random source (using functions such as Int)
can be broken when a dependency changes how much it consumes
from the global random source. To avoid such breakages, programs
that need a specific result sequence should use NewRand(NewSource(seed))
to obtain a random generator that other packages cannot access.
Fixes #56319.
