[jdk17u-dev] RFR: 8294509: The sign extension bug applies to 'public static int[] convertSeedBytesToInts(byte[] seed, int n, int z)' in RandomSupport

Backport for RandomSupport issue. There is a loss of information when using `convertSeedBytesToInts()` with a bad seed, causing a lot of the original bytes to be overwritten by 1s. The fix involves using a bitwise AND with the seed before distributing the seed bytes into the result.

Clean backport, ran GHA sanity checks and locally tested tier1, tier2. In tier2, there was 1 failure:
`test/jdk/java/nio/channels/DatagramChannel/SendReceiveMaxSize.java`
However, this fails on master as well.

The backport also updates the test `T8282144.java` to test for ints as well, which passes.
