* tests/shell: add "random-source.sh" helper for random-source for sort/shufThomas Haller2023-09-151-0/+40
Commands `sort` and `shuf` have a "--random-source" argument. That's useful for generating stable, reproducible "random" output. However, we want to do this based on a fixed seed, while the "--random-source" expects a stream of randomness. Add a helper script for that. Also, use the stable randomness for shuf in the test "tests/shell/testcases/sets/automerge_0".
