The OR-ing itself is bad for a hash function, and shifting 3 bits
left was not enough to undo the damage done by shifting
(RUBY_SPECIAL_SHIFT+3) bits right. Experimentally, shifting 16-17
bits seemed to work well in preparing the number for murmur hash.
Add a few more benchmarks to based on bm_hash_shift to ensure
we don't hurt performance too much with tweaks.
I'm pretty confident about this change and commiting it now;
especially since we're still using Murmur behind it (but perhaps
we can update to a newer hash from Murmur...)
