Seed numbers bug in MC

[Evgenii]

Hi developers,

I just wanted to point out a bug in MC subroutines regarding streams of 
random numbers.
One would think that if different &GLOBAL&SEED values are specified then it 
should lead to independent MC runs (different sequences of moves etc.). But 
apparently, if one is to look  at line 153 in *mc_runs.F* with the call to 
initialize random numbers, then it does not depend on &GLOBAL&SEED 
resulting in all runs having the same streams.

What would be the best way to quickly fix it? One of the suggestions was to 
use last_rng_stream=force_env_1%globenv%gaussian_rng_stream as an optional 
argument to distinguish between the seeds. But there should probably be a 
better way which is consistent with the rest of the code. Anyway, I believe 
this should be fixed in the upcoming release version.

Thanks!
