[Bug libfortran/32812] New: random_seed and date_and_time

[tkoenig at gcc dot gnu dot org]

As described in <OfqdnaPWZ-DR5wPbnZ2dnUVZ_qm3nZ2d@comcast.com>,
the interaction between date_and_time and random_seed
when getting a seed from date_and_time.

Currently, we use the first four values of the put argument
to random_seed for the most significant digits.  Unfortunately,
these correspond to the most slowly varying values from
date_and_time.

Some reshuffling could take care of this.
