[issue13703] Hash collision security issue

[Jim Jewett]

Jim Jewett <jimjjewett at gmail.com> added the comment:

Given PYTHONHASHSEED, what is the point of PYTHONHASHRANDOMIZATION?

Alternative:

On startup, python reads a config file with the seed (which defaults to zero).

Add a function to write a random value to that config file for the next startup.
