Attached v15 also does call srandom if it is there, and fixes yet another
remaining random call.
I think that I have now removed all references to "random" from pg source.
However, the test still fails on windows, because the linker does not find
a global variable when compiling extensions, but it seems to find the
functions defined in the very same file...

The missing symbol is really defined in common/pg_prng.c which AFAICT is
linked with postgres.
If someone experienced with the windows compilation chain could give a
hint of what is needed, I'd appreciate it!
