timer: add new feature FixedRandomDelay=

FixedRandomDelay=yes will use
`siphash24(sd_id128_get_machine() || MANAGER_IS_SYSTEM(m) || getuid() || u->id)`,
where || is concatenation, instead of a random number to choose a value between
0 and RandomizedDelaySec= as the timer delay.
This essentially sets up a fixed, but seemingly random, offset for each timer
iteration rather than having a random offset recalculated each time it fires.

Closes #10355

<listitem><para>Takes a boolean argument. If true, some amount of time between 0 and

delay will not be recalculated on each run, this effectively creates a fixed offset for each iteration.
The distribution between 0 and <varname>RandomizedDelaySec=</varname> is deterministic and based on
a combination of the machine ID, whether the timer is run by the user/system manager, the service manager's
user ID, and the timer's unit name. Has no effect if
