randstruct: Move seed generation into scripts/basic/
To enable Clang randstruct support, move the structure layout randomization seed generation out of scripts/gcc-plugins/ into scripts/basic/ so it happens early enough that it can be used by either compiler implementation. The gcc-plugin still builds its own header file, but now does so from the common "randstruct.seed" file.
