Description
I am trying to make an integration test that always outputs the same Avro file.
However, because the sync marker is random, the Avro file contents are different each time the test is run.
It would be very helpful if I could provide a random number generator to goavro, for use in testing.

Research direction
Start by locating the code that generates the Avro sync marker and the existing integration-test setup. Determine how a caller could supply a random number generator for deterministic tests, then verify that repeated test runs produce identical Avro output. The issue names no specific files or tests.
