Backport for RandomSupport issue. There is a loss of information when using convertSeedBytesToLongs() with a bad seed, causing a lot of the original bytes to be overwritten by 1s. The fix involves using a bitwise AND with the seed before distributing the seed bytes into the result.

Clean backport, ran GHA sanity checks and locally tested tier1, tier2. In tier2, there were 2 failures:
test/jdk/java/nio/channels/DatagramChannel/SendReceiveMaxSize.java
test/jdk/java/nio/channels/FileChannel/directio/DirectIOTest.java
However, these both failed before the backport as well.
