If the user passes `-r 0` or does not pass `-r` at all, this will print
"Random seed: 0" and then proceed to use 1 as the random seed, which
seems unnecessarily misleading.

If you want the default random seed to be 1, you can initialize
p.random_seed to 1 before argument parsing (where all the other
test_params are default initialized), then the value you print here will
be accurate and you don't need the comment or ternary operator.
