scm_seed_to_random_state: Support wide string arguments.

Partially fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/33044>.
Reported by Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>.

* libguile/random.c (scm_seed_to_random_state): Use 'scm_to_utf8_string'
(or 'scm_to_latin1_string' for a narrow string, for compatibility) to
convert the string into raw bytes for use by 'scm_c_make_rstate'.  Make
sure the length in bytes fits within an 'int'.
