After augmenting our `lib/random.hpp` abstraction framework to add the necessary flexibility,
a common seeding scheme was ''built into the Test-Runner.''
* all tests relying on some kind of randomness should invoke `seedRand()`
* this draws a seed from the `entropyGen` — which is also documented in the log
* individual tests can now be launched with `--seed` to force a dedicated seed
* moreover, tests should build a coherent structure of linked generators,
especially when running concurrently. The existing tests were adapted accordingly
All usages of `rand()` in the code base were investigated and replaced
by suitable calls to our abstraction framework; the code base is thus
isolated from the actual implementation, simplifying further adaptation.
* most usages are drop-in replacements
* occasionally the other convenience functions can be used
* verify call-paths from core code to identify usages
* ensure reseeding for all tests involving some kind of randomness...
__Note__: some tests were not yet converted,
since their usage of randomness is actually not thread-safe.
This problem existed previously, since also `rand()` is not thread safe,
albeit in most cases it is possible to ignore this problem, as
''garbled internal state'' is also somehow „random“
