Increase the number of possible random seeds per time period.
Commit 197e4af9 refactored the initialization of the libc random()
seed, but reduced the number of possible seeds values that could be
chosen in a given time period. This negation of the effects of
commit 98c50656c was unintentional. Replace with code that
shifts the fast moving timestamp bits left, similar to the original
algorithm (though not the previous float-tolerating coding, which
is no longer necessary).
