Constructs the pseudo-random number engine.

1) Default constructor. Seeds the engine with `default_seed`.

The overload (3) only participates in overload resolution if `Sseq` qualifies as a SeedSequence. In particular, it is excluded from the set of candidate functions if `Sseq` is convertible to `result_type`.

### Parameters

value | - | seed value to use in the initialization of the internal state
s | - | seed sequence to use in the initialization of the internal state

### Complexity

### Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR | Applied to | Behavior as published | Correct behavior
--- | --- | --- | ---
P0935R0 | C++11 | default constructor was explicit | made implicit
