[issue5588] Add --randseed to regrtest

+1 on the idea.

I'm not sure I understand the patch, though.  If the line:

random_seed = int(1000000 * random.random())

produces a random_seed of 0 (or if randseed=0 is supplied as an option), 
it looks as though random.seed is never called;  is this intentional?

Also, not that it really matters, but why do you use the expression above 
instead of the simpler random.randrange(1000000)?
