Fix randomizer
Relying on the system randomizer for unit tests leads to cases where we
don't get deterministic results, which causes inconsistent results.
These random results don't need to be secure, so reimplement as a simple
linear feedback shift register[1]. This makes our unit tests now
produce the same output every time we call generate.
Note, this change showed a weakness in our testing, where timestamps
relied on different rules for ir->cper versus cper->ir. hour 24 should
be allowed.
