Python pretends that hash randomization is always enabled, but it's not:

$ PYTHONHASHSEED=0 python3 -c 'import sys; print(sys.flags.hash_randomization)'
1
vstinner@apu$ PYTHONHASHSEED=0 python3 -c 'import sys; print(hash("abc"))'
4596069200710135518
vstinner@apu$ PYTHONHASHSEED=0 python3 -c 'import sys; print(hash("abc"))'
4596069200710135518
vstinner@apu$ PYTHONHASHSEED=0 python3 -c 'import sys; print(hash("abc"))'
4596069200710135518

=> sys.flags.hash_randomization must be zero


Moreover, the -R flag is always ignored, it's not possible to override the PYTHONHASHSEED environment variable:

vstinner@apu$ PYTHONHASHSEED=0 python3 -R -c 'import sys; print(sys.flags.hash_randomization)'
1
vstinner@apu$ PYTHONHASHSEED=0 python3 -R -c 'import sys; print(hash("abc"))'
4596069200710135518
vstinner@apu$ PYTHONHASHSEED=0 python3 -R -c 'import sys; print(hash("abc"))'
4596069200710135518
vstinner@apu$ PYTHONHASHSEED=0 python3 -R -c 'import sys; print(hash("abc"))'
4596069200710135518

I expect that -R enables hash randomization and overrides PYTHONHASHSEED environment variable.

Attached PR fixes these issues and adds an unit test.
