merge libmaple docs ("leaflabs-docs") into ./docs

In the past, libample documentation was forked out of this repository
because the documentation had increased in scope. For the librambutan,
and the rambutan project in general, we will try to keep documentation
closer to the source code, so the librambutan-specific documentation
should live here. Other sections of leaflabs-docs will be culled in a
following commit.

This merge attempts to maintain history by using a subtree strategy.
Followed directions at:

    http://nuclearsquid.com/writings/subtree-merging-and-you/

Full history for files should be accessible using the "--follow" flag to
git log, eg:

    git log --follow docs/source/adc.rst

It should be possible to pull patches from leaflabs-docs with:

    git pull -s subtree leaflabs-docs master

... at least until the docs in this repository diverge significantly.

+randomSeed()
+============
+
+``randomSeed()`` initializes the `pseudorandom number generator
+<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator>`_,
+causing it to start at an arbitrary point in its random sequence.
+This sequence, while very long, and random, is always the same.

+
+Discussion
+----------
+
+If it is important for a sequence of values generated by
+:ref:`random() <lang-random>` to differ, on subsequent executions of a
+sketch, use ``randomSeed()`` to initialize the random number generator
+with a fairly random input, such as :ref:`analogRead()
+<lang-analogread>` on an unconnected pin.
+
+Conversely, it can occasionally be useful to use pseudorandom
+sequences that repeat exactly. This can be accomplished by calling
+``randomSeed()`` with a fixed number, before starting the random
+sequence.
+
+Example
+-------
+
+The following sketch initializes the random seed based on an :ref:`ADC
+<adc>` reading of pin 0.  If this pin is unconnected, the Sketch
+should print different values to the :ref:`serial monitor
+<ide-serial-monitor>` each time it is run::
+
+    long randNumber;
+
+    void setup() {
+      pinMode(0, INPUT_ANALOG);
+      randomSeed(analogRead(0));
+    }
+
+    void loop() {
+      randNumber = random(300);
+      SerialUSB.println(randNumber);
+
+      delay(50);
+    }
