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
