Seed in examples

Hi everyone,

The current guidelines around seeding in examples is to not use plain >>> rng = np.random.default_rng()
This is great to present a clean HTML without seed that users would copy past. In the background we add a seed when running doctests. This part is painful for contributors as we either need to fail the CI first or go get the seed to have the correct output.

In the following PR, I propose some numpydoc magic that would ease our job. We would be able to put a seed, but the HTML would still be free of it. Best of both worlds.

Feel free to join the discussion. I will send a follow up if this gets merge to give updated guidelines. The current behaviour stays in place regardless if you would not want to care.

Cheers,
Pamphile
