tools: make code cache and snapshot deterministic

Use a fixed random seed to ensure that the generated sources are
identical across runs.

The final node binary still reseeds itself on start-up so there should
be no security implications caused by predictable random numbers (e.g.,
`Math.random()`, ASLR, the hash seed, etc.)
