Fix Random reproducibility when using different member functions #213

Great description of the problem here. This PR fixes this.

I opted for a simple hashing value on a string to produce a number to add to the primary_seed for each random number generator. That way if the cascaded seeding in set_seed() were to change order, it wouldn't change the value of the outputs.
