kconfig: allow specifying the seed for randconfig
For reproducibility, it can be useful to be able to specify the
seed to use to seed the RNG.
Add a new KCONFIG_SEED environment variable which can be set to
the seed to use:
$ make KCONFIG_SEED=42 randconfig
$ sha1sum .config
70a128c8dcc61303069e1be352cce64114dfcbca .config
$ make KCONFIG_SEED=42 randconfig
$ sha1sum .config
70a128c8dcc61303069e1be352cce64114dfcbca .config
It's very usefull for eg. debugging the kconfig parser.
