Make initial offset into OSTs random

Make initial offset into OSTs random so we do not reuse the same OSTs for all dumps and runs. This can be an issue when the ranks is less than the number of OSTs and to a lesser extent when the number of OSTs isn't an exact multiple of the number of ranks.

Sorry, I am slow. Any reason we would not want to also do this for the restart files?

They are typically not stored for a long time but the same biasing towards low values is also there.

My fault, didn't realise we did this for restart files. Will make the same fix for those.
