[SPARK-4148][PySpark] fix seed distribution and add some tests for rdd.sample

The current way of seed distribution makes the random sequences from partition i and i+1 offset by 1.

~~~
In [14]: import random

In [15]: r1 = random.Random(10)

In [16]: r1.randint(0, 1)
Out[16]: 1

In [17]: r1.random()
Out[17]: 0.4288890546751146

In [18]: r1.random()
Out[18]: 0.5780913011344704

In [19]: r2 = random.Random(10)

In [20]: r2.randint(0, 1)
Out[20]: 1

In [21]: r2.randint(0, 1)
Out[21]: 0

In [22]: r2.random()
Out[22]: 0.5780913011344704
~~~

Note: The new tests are not for this bug fix.
