To ensure that manifests get random(ish) and stable UUIDs we set the rng seed arg based on the filename. This should fix the issue discovered in osbuild/manifest-db#124 that duplicated UUIDs for xfs/btrfs can trigger random(ish) and hard to diagnose errors. This is the same as osbuild/osbuild-composer#4124 hopefully for the right place this time.

Simplify the previous commit so that SeedArgFor() takes strings
for the image type and distribution instead of the `namer`
interface. This makes the code a little bit easier to follow but
now the `distro.Distro` and `distro.ImageType` cannot be directly
passed into the helper anymore so it's a tradeoff.
Ideally it would just take `distro.{Distro,ImageType}` but for
that we would need an easy way to construct fake objects of
these types in our tests which there (currently) is not (AFAICT).
So settle with this approach as a compromise for now.
