`seed` in `qml.device("lightning.qubit", ...)` seemingly does nothing

[isaacdevlugt]

Issue description

The seed kwarg in device doesn't do anything for lightning.qubit. The results below are not fixed by seed.

• Expected behavior: Since all sampling behaviour in lightning qubit happens in the C++ layer and PennyLane doesn't use the seed argument to configure that at all, lightning qubit shouldn't accept a seed keyword argument (it should be removed).

• Actual behavior: It accepts seed and does nothing with it.

• Reproduces how often: 1000%

• System information:
