[issue21470] Better seeding for the random module

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

"MT is equidistributed.  This a major point in its favor but also implies that there are long stretches of "uninteresting" sequences.  When we seed with only a subset the state space, there is a risk of systematically landing in those stretches."

What is an uninteresting sequence? What are the problem of these sequences?
