Description
### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
for example,
in https://github.com/lakehq/sail/blob/main/crates/sail-plan/src/extension/function/math/randn.rs
it seems that every record batch will have same init seed and same random result.
### Describe the solution you'd like
add partition & record_batch_index into evalutate method arguments.
e.g.
```rust
pub trait PhysicalExpr {
fn evaluate(&self, batch: &RecordBatch, partiton: usize, record_batch_index: usize) -> Result;
}
```
then we get different seed for different record batch.
in spark, seeds are different for different partitions.

Research direction
Start with crates/sail-plan/src/extension/function/math/randn.rs and inspect the PhysicalExpr::evaluate signature proposed in the issue. Trace how partition and record-batch context would reach evaluation before choosing an approach. Done means random seeds or results can differ across partitions and record batches, with the relevant behavior verified.
