e1e7a77141 t: sort output of hashmap iteration
The iteration order of a hashmap is undefined, and may depend on things
like the exact set of items added, or the table has been grown or
shrunk. In the case of an oidmap, it even depends on endianness, because
we take the oid hash by casting sha1 bytes directly into an unsigned
int.

Let's sort the test-tool output from any hash iterators. In the case of
t0011, this is just future-proofing. But for t0016, it actually fixes a
reported failure on the big-endian s390 and nonstop ports.

I didn't bother to teach the helper functions to optionally sort output.
They are short enough that it's simpler to just repeat them inline for
the iteration tests than it is to add a --sort option.

a1100d2cee test-hashmap: remove 'hash' command
If hashes like strhash() are updated, for example to use a different
hash algorithm, we should not have to be updating t0011 to change out
the hashes.

As long as hashmap can store and retrieve values, and that it performs
well, we should not care what are the values of the hashes. Let's just
focus on the externally visible behavior instead.

99094a7ad4 t: fix trivial &&-chain breakage
These are tests which are missing a link in their &&-chain,
but during a setup phase. We may fail to notice failure in
commands that build the test environment, but these are
typically not expected to fail at all (but it's still good
to double-check that our test environment is what we
expect).

7b64d42d22 hashmap: add string interning API
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).

6a364ced49 add a hashtable implementation that supports O(1) removal
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).
