I'm inclined to say that we want a new pg_global_prng_user_state that

array_sample(), and any other user-facing random functions we add
later.


I like the idea. How would you organize the code? I imagine some sort of 
user prng that is encapsulated in something like utils/adt/random.c and 
is guaranteed to always be seeded.
