Have SRANDMEMBER and RANDOMKEY accept a seed #870

Description

@tobsn

(Feature request)

SRANDMEMBER myset [count] [seed]

SRANDMEMBER myset
// return one random member
SRANDMEMBER myset 2
// return two random members
SRANDMEMBER myset 1 "723432"
// return one random member, randomness based on seed
// first attribute could be switched to seed if second attribute is string not int (count of members vs. "seed")

RANDOMKEY [seed]

RANDOMKEY
// return one random key
RANDOMKEY "723432"
// return one random key, randomness based on seed

The problem hit me today as I want to have a random set member but I want to have the same random set member based on a seed. In my example, the randomness should stay the same per IP.
