Fix $RANDOM to act consistently in subshells (#294)
This fixes the following:
1. Using $RANDOM in a virtual/non-forked subshell no longer
   influences the reproducible $RANDOM sequence in the parent
   environment.
2. When invoking a subshell $RANDOM is now re-seeded (as mksh and
   bash do) so that invocations in repeated subshells (including
   forked subshells) longer produce identical sequences by default.
3. Program flow corruption that occurred in scripts on executing
   ( ( simple_command & ) ).

src/cmd/ksh93/include/variables.h:
- Move 'struct rand' here as it will be needed in subshell.c. Add
  rand_seed member to save the pseudorandom generator seed. Remove
  the pointer to the shell state as it's redundant.

src/cmd/ksh93/sh/init.c:
- put_rand(): Store given seed in rand_seed while calling srand().
  No longer pointlessly limit the number of possible seeds with the
  RANDMASK bitmask (that mask is to limit the values to 0-32767,
  it should not limit the number of possible sequences to 32768).
- nget_rand(): Instead of using rand(), use rand_r() to update the
  random_seed value. This makes it possible to save/restore the
  current seed of the pseudorandom generator.
- Add sh_reseed_rand() function that reseeds the pseudorandom
  generator by calling srand() with a bitwise-xor combination of
  the current PID, the current time with a granularity of 1/10000
  seconds, and a sequence number that is increased on each
  invocation.
- nv_init(): Set the initial seed using sh_reseed_rand() here
  instead of in sh_main(), as this is where the other struct rand
  members are initialised.

src/cmd/ksh93/sh/main.c: sh_main():
- Remove the srand() call that was replaced by the sh_reseed_rand()
  call in init.c.

src/cmd/ksh93/sh/subshell.c: sh_subshell():
- Upon entering a virtual subshell, save the current $RANDOM seed
  and state, then reseed $RANDOM for the subshell.
- Upon exiting a virtual subshell, restore $RANDOM seed and state
  and reseed the generator using srand() with the restored seed.

src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c: sh_exec():
- When optimizing out a subshell that is the last command, still
  act like a subshell: reseed $RANDOM and increase ${.sh.subshell}.
- Fix a separate bug discovered while implementing this. Do not
  optimize '( simple_command & )' when in a virtual subshell; doing
  this causes program flow corruption.
- When optimizing '( simple_command & )', also reseed $RANDOM and
  increment ${.sh.subshell}.

src/cmd/ksh93/tests/subshell.sh,
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/variables.sh:
- Add various tests for all of the above.
