To be compatible with the revised Reference code, we now set the number
of seeds to 2 (instead of 3) in this code package, and update the KATs accordingly.
The reasons for different KATs were explained in tests/kats/Readme.md.
Since now the KATs are compatible with the Reference code KATs, the
Readme file is updated to reflect the new state.
The number of seeds (NUM_OF_SEEDS) was previously set to 3 here, only for compatibility with the BIKE Reference code (at that time) that generates 3 seeds: https://bikesuite.org/files/v4.0/Reference_Implementation.2020.05.03.1.zip
The actual number of seeds that are required for BIKE, and used in the protocol, is 2. BIKE team fixed this issue on 06/03/2020, and uploaded the new version of Reference code: https://bikesuite.org/files/v4.0/Reference_Implementation.2020.06.03.1.zip

BIKE team fixed several more inconsistencies which were responsible for the difference between the KATs of this code and the Reference code. The changes they made are listed in: https://bikesuite.org/files/v4.0/change-log.2020.06.03.1.txt
