Initializes the random number generator to a fixed state, identical to the initial state (upon program start) in version 1.2 and earlier of Macaulay2. (After version 1.2, the random number seed is initially set (when Macaulay2 starts) to a number that depends on the current date, the time (in seconds), and the process id, except for when running examples and tests in packages (as signalled by use of the command line option --no-randomize), where it is always initialized to 0.)
