LTLA/BiocSeed: Setting the Random Seed in Bioconductor Packages

Implements a data-dependent seed-setting mechanism for use within functions containing a stochastic component. The aim is to ensure that such functions can return deterministic output without the user having to remember to set the seed explicitly; yet avoid using a constant seed that might lock a function into a bad initialization; and to also avoid interfering with any set.seed() calls that are provided.
