A 16-bit pseudorandom number generator.
Uses a well-known LCG algorithm introduced by K&R.
> [!NOTE]
> `PseudoRandom` is slower and has worse random distribution than `PcgRandom`.
> Use `PseudoRandom` only if you need output to match the well-known LCG algorithm introduced by K&R.
> Otherwise, use `PcgRandom`.
* constructor `PseudoRandom(seed)`
* `seed`: 32-bit signed number
