Random seed

See original GitHub issue

When using any kind of random in testing we want it to be reproducible. Right now all the providers rely on some kind of random functions.

So, what I suggest:

Create a new optional config entry: ELIZABETH_RANDOM_SEED (maybe it should be a parameter somewhere as well?)
When it is set, use it’s value as a seed

@blakev maybe it is indeed a good idea.

@lk-geimfari I guess we should not create our own random instance, lets use shared random instance.
