Random seeding of environments would be cool #21

Hi, first, thank you for your work in putting this together! Good stuff.

I wanted to make a suggestion, that there could be a lot of value in adding random seeds across the board to your environments. This feature would enables users to a) focus on solving a single instance (e.g., a large/hard one where numerical optimization fails) and b) reproduce results and, by virtue of this, benchmark policies. This is alluded to in this merge, and I think the work is basically the same for the other models. I didn't see a way to do this via a PR given my own time limitations so just wanted to drop the thought here.

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion! We're getting back to making some updates to the library and will get this in place.
