Description

This should reset it, similar to when YASL is launched (not with the same seed)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the implementation of the math.seed function in the YASL repository. Look for how the random seed is initialized when the interpreter starts. Modify math.seed so that calling it without arguments (or with a special value) re seeds the random number generator to a new random value. Write or update tests to verify this behavior. Check the documentation for the math library if needed.
