While at it, clarify the use of `key`, `keydata`, `entry_or_key` as well
as documenting the new data pointer for the compare function.
Rework the example.

When using the hashmap a common need is to have access to caller provided
data in the compare function. A couple of times we abuse the keydata field
to pass in the data needed. This happens for example in patch-ids.c.
This patch changes the function signature of the compare function
to have one more void pointer available. The pointer given for each
invocation of the compare function must be defined in the init function
of the hashmap and is just passed through.
Documentation of this new feature is deferred to a later patch.
This is a rather mechanical conversion, just adding the new pass-through
parameter. However while at it improve the naming of the fields of all
compare functions used by hashmaps by ensuring unused parameters are
prefixed with 'unused_' and naming the parameters what they are (instead
of 'unused' make it 'unused_keydata').

Teach hashmap to allow rehashes to be suppressed.
This is useful when hashmaps are accessed by multiple
threads. It still requires the caller to properly
manage their locking. This just prevents unexpected
rehashing during inserts and deletes.

Add variant of memihash() to allow the hash computation to
be continued. There are times when we compute the hash on
a full path and then the hash on just the path to the parent
directory. This can be expensive on large repositories.
With this, we can hash the parent directory first. And then
continue the computation to include the "/filename".

Interning short strings with high probability of duplicates can reduce the
memory footprint and speed up comparisons.
Add strintern() and memintern() APIs that use a hashmap to manage the pool
of unique, interned strings.
Note: strintern(getenv()) could be used to sanitize git's use of getenv(),
in case we ever encounter a platform where a call to getenv() invalidates
previous getenv() results (which is allowed by POSIX).

Hashmap entries are typically looked up by just a key. The hashmap_get()
API expects an initialized entry structure instead, to support compound
keys. This flexibility is currently only needed by find_dir_entry() in
name-hash.c (and compat/win32/fscache.c in the msysgit fork). All other
(currently five) call sites of hashmap_get() have to set up a near emtpy
entry structure, resulting in duplicate code like this:
struct hashmap_entry keyentry;
hashmap_entry_init(&keyentry, hash(key));
return hashmap_get(map, &keyentry, key);
Add a hashmap_get_from_hash() API that allows hashmap lookups by just
specifying the key and its hash code, i.e.:
return hashmap_get_from_hash(map, hash(key), key);

Copying the first bytes of a SHA1 is duplicated in six places,
however, the implications (the actual value would depend on the
endianness of the platform) is documented only once.
Add a properly documented API for this.

The existing hashtable implementation (in hash.[ch]) uses open addressing
(i.e. resolve hash collisions by distributing entries across the table).
Thus, removal is difficult to implement with less than O(n) complexity.
Resolving collisions of entries with identical hashes (e.g. via chaining)
is left to the client code.
Add a hashtable implementation that supports O(1) removal and is slightly
easier to use due to builtin entry chaining.
Supports all basic operations init, free, get, add, remove and iteration.
Also includes ready-to-use hash functions based on the public domain FNV-1
algorithm (http://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/fnv).
The per-entry data structure (hashmap_entry) is piggybacked in front of
the client's data structure to save memory. See test-hashmap.c for usage
examples.
The hashtable is resized by a factor of four when 80% full. With these
settings, average memory consumption is about 2/3 of hash.[ch], and
insertion is about twice as fast due to less frequent resizing.
Lookups are also slightly faster, because entries are strictly confined to
their bucket (i.e. no data of other buckets needs to be traversed).
