Outdated information in the 'Randomness' section

From Randomness page on Exercism, at the bottom of the page:

Warning
If you don't call rand.Seed, then the package will produce the same sequence of random numbers each time your program runs!

From rand package documentation:

func Seed DEPRECATED
(...)
If Seed is not called, the generator is seeded randomly at program startup.
Prior to Go 1.20, the generator was seeded like Seed(1) at program startup.

I believe it's important to keep the exercises up-to-date, because learners will most likely use the latest version of the toolchain.
