As 'time(0) | getpid()' will have a lot of duplicated value. It is not a
expected behavior. We expect different value for the seed when when run
it in many times.
So this patch will left shift the getpid() and add to time(0). That
avoid duplicated value.
Test command is like:
% RUN=0; while [ $RUN -lt 10000 ]; do
tools/gen_eth_addr; RUN=$(($RUN+1)); done | sort | uniq | wc -l
10000
This patch is incorporated with suggestions made by Wolfgang Denk and Andreas
Bießmann. Thanks them a lot.

Replace random()/srandom() use with rand()/srand() to support
compilation with the mingw toolchain. The rand()/srand() functions are
generally more common and are functionally equivalent to the original
random()/srandom() calls.
