Summary:
* Fully optimized StandardHasher, in terms of efficiently generating Start, CoeffRow, and ResultRow from a stock hash value, with sufficient independence between them to have no measurably degraded behavior. (Degraded behavior would be an FP rate higher than explainable by 2^-b and, if using a 32-bit stock hash function, expected stock hash collisions.) Details in code comments.
* Our standard 64-bit and 32-bit hash functions do not exhibit sufficient independence on sequential seeds (for one Ribbon construction attempt to have independent probability from the next). I have worked around this in the Ribbon code by "pre-mixing" "ordinal seeds," sequentially tried and appropriate for storage in persisted metadata, into "raw seeds," ready for application and appropriate for in-memory storage. This way the pre-mixing step (though fast) is only applied on loading or configuring the structure, not on each query or banding add.
* Fix a subtle flaw in which backtracking not clearing ResultRow data could lead to elevated FP rate on keys that were backtracked on and should (for generality) exhibit the same FP rate as novel keys.
* Added a basic test for PhsfQuery and construction algorithms (map or "retrieval structure" rather than set or filter), and made a few trivial related fixes.
* Better random configuration generation in unit tests
* Some other minor cleanup / clarification / etc.

Summary:
The core algorithms for InterleavedSolutionStorage and the
implementation SerializableInterleavedSolution make Ribbon fast for
filter queries. Example output from new unit test:
Simple outside query, hot, incl hashing, ns/key: 117.796
Interleaved outside query, hot, incl hashing, ns/key: 42.2655
Bloom outside query, hot, incl hashing, ns/key: 24.0071
Also includes misc cleanup of previous Ribbon code and comments.
Some TODOs and FIXMEs remain for futher work / investigation.

Summary:
This is intended as the first commit toward a near-optimal alternative to static Bloom filters for SSTs. Stephan Walzer and I have agreed upon the name "Ribbon" for a PHSF based on his linear system construction in "Efficient Gauss Elimination for Near-Quadratic Matrices with One Short Random Block per Row, with Applications" ("SGauss") and my much faster "on the fly" algorithm for gaussian elimination (or for this linear system, "banding"), which can be faster than peeling while also more compact and flexible. See util/ribbon_alg.h for more detailed introduction and background. RIBBON = Rapid Incremental Boolean Banding ON-the-fly
This commit just adds generic (templatized) core algorithms and a basic unit test showing some features, including the ability to construct structures within 2.5% space overhead vs. information theoretic lower bound. (Compare to cache-local Bloom filter's ~50% space overhead -> ~30% reduction anticipated.) This commit does not include the storage scheme necessary to make queries fast, especially for filter queries, nor fractional "result bits", but there is some description already and those implementations will come soon. Nor does this commit add FilterPolicy support, for use in SST files, but that will also come soon.
