commit 6955bba0ede45e9379d04d7faaa889448919aa07
Doc: improve documentation about random().

We didn't explicitly say that random() uses a randomly-chosen seed
if you haven't called setseed(). Do so.

Also, remove ref/set.sgml's no-longer-accurate (and never very
relevant) statement that the seed value is multiplied by 2^31-1.

Back-patch to v12 where set.sgml's claim stopped being true.
The claim that we use a source of random bits as seed was debatable
before 4203842a1, too, so v12 seems like a good place to stop.

Per question from Carl Sopchak.
