Random seeding

Do not merge, won't work until the random_seed branch of Axelrod is merged

I don't understand what test_champion_v_alternator is doing.

don't understand what test_champion_v_alternator is doing.

it's a specific regression test for #62 which was added in #63. It ensures this fix to TourExec works: https://github.com/Axelrod-Python/TourExec/pull/6/files

If I remember correctly there was an issue when k61r played repeatedly (which probably wasn't picked up in the original Axelrod tournaments as they were no repetitions so to speak).

EDIT: So I believe what it's doing is checking we get the same results when playing the match multiple times.

(But it's very poorly documented: that's my bad.)

I believe I've fixed the test, which passes locally. But all the tests won't work here until we release a new version of axelrod.

Axelrod-Python/Axelrod#1288 has been merged: I plan to do a new release first thing tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.

Looks good to me 👍 Once we have a new release I'll get the simulations going for the reproducing paper 👍

@meatballs PTAL. We should release a new version of axelrod-fortran after this PR goes in.

The CI checks don't show up for me on this page, you can see them passing here.

Could be worth moving this to GitHub actions? I could have a go at putting that together.
