Backport for RandomSupport issue. There is a loss of information when using convertSeedBytesToLongs() with a bad seed, causing a lot of the original bytes to be overwritten by 1s. The fix involves using a bitwise AND with the seed before distributing the seed bytes into the result.

Note there is an exact same issue/bugfix with convertSeedBytesToInts(), but I will backport that bugfix separately

Clean backport, ran GHA sanity checks and locally tested tier1, tier2. In tier2, there were 2 failures:
test/jdk/java/nio/channels/DatagramChannel/SendReceiveMaxSize.java
test/jdk/java/nio/channels/FileChannel/directio/DirectIOTest.java
However, these both failed before the backport as well.

The backport also includes the test for this issue T8282144.java, which passes.

/approval request
for backport of JDK-8282144 RandomSupport.convertSeedBytesToLongs sign extension overwrites previous bytes

Motivation: Without this change, RandomSupport.convertSeedBytesToLongs() overrides many bits with 1s, resulting in a loss of information for some byte seeds.

Risk: Low. Ran GHA Sanity Checks, and tier 1 and tier 2 tests locally, as well as the testcase written specifically for this issue (T8282144.java). Patch is clean. Change has been present in tip since March, 2022.
