Hi all,
could you please review the patch which updates `jdk.test.lib.Utils` to use md5 hash-sum of `java.vm.version` property
as default seed for `Utils.RANDOM_GENERATOR`?
from JBS:
> using the same seed for all runs of a build will make it possible (easier) to compare results from different test runs
> (e.g. on different platforms, w/ different flags) and consequently will make test results analysis easier.
the patch also updates `RandomGeneratorTest` test, so it expects now that the same values are generated if no seed is
provided.
testing: ✅ tier1
