1.13.1.69 Random number generator

Some older versions of gnuplot used rand(x>0) to produce sequential pseudo-random numbers. The current behavior is as follows:

 
 `rand(0)`  returns a pseudo random number in the interval [0:1] generated
            from the current value of two internal 32-bit seeds.
 `rand(-1)` resets both seeds to a standard value.
 `rand(x)`  for x>0 sets both seeds to a value based on the value of x.
 `rand({x,y})` for x>0 sets seed1 to x and seed2 to y.
