Subject: [PATCH] Reuse seeded rng in tilemap_chunk for more determinism
 (#19812)

# Objective

This example uses a seeded RNG for the initial setup, but new unseeded
RNGs during each timed update.

This is causing the example to produce different output each time in the
[example report](https://bevyengine.github.io/bevy-example-runner/).

/>

## Solution

Store and reuse the RNG, following the pattern used in other examples.

## Testing

`cargo run --example tilemap_chunk`
