rS346847: fsx: seed more randomly with the -S0 option

Summary

fsx: seed more randomly with the -S0 option

When using -S0, seed the PRNG with the current time in nanoseconds, not
seconds, so consecutive runs don't accidentally use the same seed.

This change is very reasonable.

FWIW, I wish there was a standard upstream source for fsx. A number of different OSes have their own version of fsx with their own set of bugs.
