Allow MINICALOSIM_SEED env var to override RNG seed in run_pbwo4/run_sampling

Concurrent job launches can land in the same wall-clock second, causing
G4System::init's time-based seed (seed=-1) to collide and produce
byte-identical physics across separately-named shards. Falls back to
the existing time-based seed if the variable is unset, empty, or invalid.
