Allow passing a seed to RandomPointsBuilder, to enable reproducible behavior.

See, for example:

It's a good idea to allow RandomPointsBuilder to be deterministic. To avoid constructor combinatorial explosion, would it be acceptable to add a (optional) setter passing in a Random?

[palisades-lakes]

Yes, that's a better idea, especially if the setter takes java.util.random.RandomGenerator rather than just java.util.Random.
Updated the code above to reflect.

Drilling deeper on this: why do you want the ramdom point generation to be reproducible? Can't you just copy the generated points if needed?

[palisades-lakes]

Developing/testing code using random point configurations, you need to be able to run/modify/re-run with the same inputs.
One could create a separate script to generate points and save to a file for reuse, but that's cumbersome and inflexible compared to just seeding a generator, especially if you need lots of random points.

Easy enough for me to create my own points generator, so nothing critical about this.
Just thought it might be useful for others.
