[PATCH v2] nandtest: seed random generator with time

If a seed is not provided via --seed, we use the default rand() values,
which produces the same sequence of values every run. Since this is
undesirable, we should choose a random seed via the current time().
Note that this patch moves the srand() until after all the initial
options processing.
