RFR: 8330027: Identity hashes of archived objects must be based on a reproducable random seed

CDS archive contains archived objects with identity hashes.

These hashes are deliberately preserved or even generated during dumping. They are generated based on a seed that is initialized randomly on a per-thread basis. These generations precede CDS dump initialization, so they are not affected by the init_random call there or by the changes of [JDK-8323900](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8323900).

A random seed will not work for dumping archives since it prevents reproducible archive generation. Therefore, when dumping, these seeds must be initiated in a reproducible way.
