[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/2] avutil/random_seed: Speed up fate test

[Michael Niedermayer <michael@niedermayer.cc>]

This decreases the quality of the seeds during the test, it does not affect
the seeds outside the test.
There is a small chance that this causes test failures, if that happens
the threshold needs adjusting

Testing on an idle x86_64 system shows that this passes even with the test strength
increased to 32768 from 256 with 0 retries
So test failures are not anticipated
Lowering the threshold from 3 to 2 causes failure at test strength of 32768
