  1. make the seed of a MersenneTwister be always a Vector{Uint32} 

    MersenneTwister's constructor making an instance with an Uint32 seed
was removed in commit 4fb4622. But a subsequent call to
srand(r::MersenneTwister, seed) would only accept an Uint32 as a seed,
and would always make r.seed an Uint32; this was not consistent.

  2. add more methods srand(::MersenneTwister, ...) 

    The srand methods working on a MersenneTwister instance did not catch
up with those working on the global RNG. They are now made similar
thanks to the make_seed function, which implements the different
logics.
Also, the manual is more precise on the types of valid seeds.

  3. add more methods rand(rng, ...) 

    And similarly for rand!, randbool.
Fixes #8360.
