Was previously always showing the first matches for the query
- This results in showing many matches from the same title
New code randomizes seeded by today's date so the same four are shown throughout the day, but pages are from throughout the set of pages matching the "this day" query

We discussed on Slack and it seems UNL is the only institution using the plugin so I'll just maintain it as we see fit for now.

Discussing the efficiency of the DB query, Jeremy pointed out the issue he made describing their approach to make the query faster: https://github.com/open-oni/plugin_featured_content/issues/17
