This addresses a part of #37165: > It's common that sequential seeds for RNGs are not as independent as one might like. This clears out this problem for `MersenneTwister`, and makes it easy to add the same feature to other RNGs via a new `hash_seed` function, which replaces `make_seed`. This is an alternative to #37766.

This is draft, as tests must be fixed to accomodate for the changes in random streams; as I'm planning for another change breaking the streams, I will try to stack both PRs to avoid having to fix tests twice in a row.EDIT: This was changed so as to not break the streams, so LinAlg tests should pass as is.
