Francesco Fusco 71ae8aac3e lib: introduce arch optimized hash library
We introduce a new hashing library that is meant to be used in
the contexts where speed is more important than uniformity of the
hashed values. The hash library leverages architecture specific
implementation to achieve high performance and fall backs to
jhash() for the generic case.

On Intel-based x86 architectures, the library can exploit the crc32l
instruction, part of the Intel SSE4.2 instruction set, if the
instruction is supported by the processor. This implementation
is twice as fast as the jhash() implementation on an i7 processor.

Additional architectures, such as Arm64 provide instructions for
accelerating the computation of CRC, so they could be added as well
in follow-up work.

* Knuth recommends primes in approximately golden ratio to the maximum
* integer representable by a machine word for multiplicative hashing.
* Chuck Lever verified the effectiveness of this technique:
* http://www.citi.umich.edu/techreports/reports/citi-tr-00-1.pdf
*
* These primes are chosen to be bit-sparse, that is operations on
* them can use shifts and additions instead of multiplications for
* machines where multiplications are slow.
