Summary:
For upcoming new SST filter implementations, we will use a new
64-bit hash function (XXH3 preview, slightly modified). This change
updates hash.{h,cc} for that change, adds unit tests, and out-of-lines
the implementations to keep hash.h as clean/small as possible.
In developing the unit tests, I discovered that the XXH3 preview always
returns zero for the empty string. Zero is problematic for some
algorithms (including an upcoming SST filter implementation) if it
occurs more often than at the "natural" rate, so it should not be
returned from trivial values using trivial seeds. I modified our fork
of XXH3 to return a modest hash of the seed for the empty string.
With hash function details out-of-lines in hash.h, it makes sense to
enable XXH_INLINE_ALL, so that direct calls to XXH64/XXH32/XXH3p
are inlined. To fix array-bounds warnings on some inline calls, I
injected some casts to uintptr_t in xxhash.cc. (Issue reported to Yann.)
Revised: Reverted using XXH_INLINE_ALL for now. Some Facebook
checks are unhappy about #include on xxhash.cc file. I would
fix that by rename to xxhash_cc.h, but to best preserve history I want
to do that in a separate commit (PR) from the uintptr casts.
Also updated filter_bench for this change, improving the performance
predictability of dry run hashing and adding support for 64-bit hash
(for upcoming new SST filter implementations, minor dead code in the
tool for now).

Summary:
- Updated our included xxhash implementation to version 0.7.2 (== the latest dev version as of 2019-10-09).
- Using XXH_NAMESPACE (like other fb projects) to avoid potential name collisions.
- Added fastrange64, and unit tests for it and fastrange32. These are faster alternatives to hash % range.
- Use preview version of XXH3 instead of MurmurHash64A for NPHash64
-- Had to update cache_test to increase probability of passing for any given hash function.
- Use fastrange64 instead of % with uses of NPHash64
-- Had to fix WritePreparedTransactionTest.CommitOfDelayedPrepared to avoid deadlock apparently caused by new hash collision.
- Set default seed for NPHash64 because specifying a seed rarely makes sense for it.
- Removed unnecessary include xxhash.h in a popular .h file
- Rename preview version of XXH3 to XXH3p for clarity and to ease backward compatibility in case final version of XXH3 is integrated.
Relying on existing unit tests for NPHash64-related changes. Each new implementation of fastrange64 passed unit tests when manipulating my local build to select it. I haven't done any integration performance tests, but I consider the improved performance of the pieces being swapped in to be well established.
