Evan Huus 9ba4c6e091 Hash map implementation for wmem.
This has two expected uses:
- Many current users of wmem_tree don't actually need the predecessor lookup
  it provides (the lookup_le function family). A hash map provides straight
  insertion and lookup much more efficiently than a wmem_tree when predecessor
  lookup isn't needed.

- Many current users of glib's hash table and hash functions use untrusted data
  for keys, making them vulnerable to algorithmic complexity attacks. Care has
  been taken to make this implementation secure against such attacks, so it
  should be used whenever data is untrusted.

In my benchmarks it is measurably slower than GHashTable, but not excessively
so. Given the additional security it provides this seems like a reasonable
trade-off (and it is still faster than a wmem_tree).
