Description

Having a seed is something which is common to all sampling classes. I have a rough feeling it would be good to create a SamplingFilter base class. Something for another PR.

This class should use modern C++11/14 <random> header along with modern PRNG and entropy sources provided by stdlib

Research direction

Start by inspecting the existing sampling filter classes and how each currently handles its seed. Define the shared base around the common behavior described in the issue, using the C++11/14 facilities and standard-library PRNG and entropy sources. Done means the sampling classes share the new base without losing their existing behavior, with coverage for the changed seed handling.
