Starts the generator from new_seed: the state becomes seed * 6364136223846793005 + 1442695040888963407 (wrapping), so the first draw comes from that value. Equal seeds give equal sequences.
Without a state it seeds the shared global. Writing a different u64 straight into your own state is also valid; seeding only spreads small seeds over the 64 bits.
