contrib/hdtbl/examples/*.roff: Seed RNG.
Support reproducible builds by seeding hdtbl's random number generator
(in contrib/hdtbl/examples/common.roff).
When A/Bing roff documents after a build to see what I broke with my
changes, I always have to ignore the numerous color changes caused by
contrib/hdtbl/examples/common.roff seeding its random number generator
with the current date/time and process ID.
Zeroes turned out to be bad seeds; the tables didn't have much in the
way of color gradients.
