<p>PRNG implementations are allowed to assume that bits in the seed are
well distributed. That means usually that the number of one and zero
bits are roughly equal, and values like 0, 1 and (size - 1) are unlikely.
Note that many non-cryptographic PRNGs will show poor quality output
if this is not adhered to. If you wish to seed from simple numbers, use
<code>seed_from_u64</code> instead.</p>
<p>All PRNG implementations should be reproducible unless otherwise noted:
given a fixed <code>seed</code>, the same sequence of output should be produced
on all runs, library versions and architectures (e.g. check endianness).
Any “value-breaking” changes to the generator should require bumping at
least the minor version and documentation of the change.</p>
<p>It is not required that this function yield the same state as a
reference implementation of the PRNG given equivalent seed; if necessary
another constructor replicating behaviour from a reference
implementation can be added.</p>
<p>PRNG implementations should make sure <code>from_seed</code> never panics. In the
case that some special values (like an all zero seed) are not viable
seeds it is preferable to map these to alternative constant value(s),
for example <code>0xBAD5EEDu32</code> or <code>0x0DDB1A5E5BAD5EEDu64</code> (“odd biases? bad
seed”). This is assuming only a small number of values must be rejected.</p>

<p>This may be useful when needing to rapidly seed many PRNGs from a master
PRNG, and to allow forking of PRNGs. It may be considered deterministic.</p>
<p>The master PRNG should be at least as high quality as the child PRNGs.
When seeding non-cryptographic child PRNGs, we recommend using a
different algorithm for the master PRNG (ideally a CSPRNG) to avoid
correlations between the child PRNGs. If this is not possible (e.g.
forking using small non-crypto PRNGs) ensure that your PRNG has a good
mixing function on the output or consider use of a hash function with
<code>from_seed</code>.</p>
<p>Note that seeding <code>XorShiftRng</code> from another <code>XorShiftRng</code> provides an
extreme example of what can go wrong: the new PRNG will be a clone
of the parent.</p>
<p>PRNG implementations are allowed to assume that a good RNG is provided
for seeding, and that it is cryptographically secure when appropriate.
As of <code>rand</code> 0.7 / <code>rand_core</code> 0.5, implementations overriding this
method should ensure the implementation satisfies reproducibility
