Description
**Description**
Currently the message in unconditional:
https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/blob/1f881ab4641b866304b818a063164dae976dba5f/src/catch2/reporters/catch_reporter_console.cpp#L514-L521
So it is shown every single time:
```
Randomness seeded to: 784548612
===============================================================================
All tests passed (5147 assertions in 174 test cases)
```
Not denying that this feature is supposedly important in certain use cases, I don't explicitly use Catch2's RNG in my tests and could not care less to what exactly the randomness was seeded, so the message only distracts.
I'd expect it to be exposed by xml and other machine-readable reporters, and even by console when `--verbosity high` is set, why not, but doing so unconditionally and by default is just annoying.
Thanks
