Initialize random() in bootstrap/stand-alone postgres and in initdb. This removes a difference between the standard IsUnderPostmaster execution environment and that of --boot and --single. In a stand-alone backend, "SELECT random()" always started at the same seed. On a system capable of using posix shared memory, initdb could still conclude "selecting dynamic shared memory implementation ... sysv". Crashed --boot or --single postgres processes orphaned shared memory objects having names that collided with the not-actually-random names that initdb probed. The sysv fallback appeared after ten crashes of --boot or --single postgres. Since --boot and --single are rare in production use, systems used for PostgreSQL development are the principal candidate to notice this symptom. Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions). PostgreSQL 9.4 introduced dynamic shared memory, but 9.3 does share the "SELECT random()" problem. Reviewed by Tom Lane and Kyotaro HORIGUCHI.
