kconfig: allow specifying the seed for randconfig

For reproducibility, it can be useful to be able to specify the
seed to use to seed the RNG.

Add a new KCONFIG_SEED environment variable which can be set to
the seed to use:
    $ make KCONFIG_SEED=42 randconfig
    $ sha1sum .config
    70a128c8dcc61303069e1be352cce64114dfcbca  .config
    $ make KCONFIG_SEED=42 randconfig
    $ sha1sum .config
    70a128c8dcc61303069e1be352cce64114dfcbca  .config

It's very usefull for eg. debugging the kconfig parser.
