bytes/hash: disable seed test on 32-bit platforms

The distribution of hash outputs when varying the seed is
not good enough on 32-bit platforms.

This isn't a likely attack vector (the adversary controlling the seed),
so it isn't a huge deal. Would be nice to fix, though. For now, just
skip this test.

Fixes #33988
