NumpyBackend.seed() rejects a np.random.RandomState instance, forcing callers to special-case it

[Samuel-Vangu]

Describe the bug

NumpyBackend.seed() only accepts an int (or None). Passing an
already-instantiated np.random.RandomState raises a TypeError,
because RandomState.seed() itself doesn't accept another RandomState
as input:

TypeError: Cannot cast scalar from dtype('O') to dtype('int64')
           according to the rule 'safe'

As a result, every caller that wants to support passing an existing
RandomState has to special-case it manually instead of relying on the
shared nx.seed(seed) / nx.randn(...) abstraction. TorchBackend and
TensorflowBackend already handle this correctly -- both adopt an
externally-passed generator (torch.Generator, tf.random.Generator)
directly. NumpyBackend is the outlier.

Code sample

import numpy as np
from ot.backend import NumpyBackend

nx = NumpyBackend()
rng = np.random.RandomState(42)
nx.seed(rng)  # raises TypeError

Expected behavior

nx.seed(rng) should adopt rng as the backend's own generator (same
pattern as TorchBackend/TensorflowBackend), so later nx.randn(...)
calls draw from it, with no error and no special-casing needed by callers.

Fix, in NumpyBackend.seed():

def seed(self, seed=None):
    if isinstance(seed, np.random.RandomState):
        self.rng_ = seed
    elif seed is not None:
        self.rng_.seed(seed)

Once this lands, the isinstance(seed, np.random.RandomState) and str(nx) == "numpy" special case can be removed from 4 places in
ot/sliced/_utils.py (get_random_projections, get_projections_sphere,
get_random_rotations, get_projections_spiral), each simplified to
if seed is not None: nx.seed(seed).

Two other occurrences use different logic and should be checked
separately, not assumed to be the same bug: ot/sliced/_spherical_sliced.py:435
(not isinstance(...), inverted condition) and ot/utils.py:702.

Environment

Not environment-specific -- a pure Python/NumPy logic bug, reproducible
on any platform/version with a recent ot.backend.
