Previously, the hash_table API required the user to do all of the hashing
of keys as it passed them in. Since the hashing function is intrinsically
tied to the comparison function, it makes sense for the hash table to know
about it. Also, it makes for a somewhat clumsy API as the user is
constantly calling hashing functions many of which have long names. This
is especially bad when the standard call looks something like
_mesa_hash_table_insert(ht, _mesa_pointer_hash(key), key, data);
In the above case, there is no reason why the hash table shouldn't do the
hashing for you. We leave the option for you to do your own hashing if
it's more efficient, but it's no longer needed. Also, if you do do your
own hashing, the hash table will assert that your hash matches what it
expects out of the hashing function. This should make it harder to mess up
your hashing.
v2: change to call the old entrypoint "pre_hashed" rather than
"with_hash", like cworth's equivalent change upstream (change by
anholt, acked-in-general by Jason).

This gathers macros that have been included across components into util so
that the include chain can be more vertical. In particular, this makes
util stand on its own without any dependence whatsoever on the rest of
mesa.

This hash table is used in core Mesa, the GLSL compiler, and the i965
driver, which makes it a good candidate for the new src/util module.
It's much faster than program/hash_table.[ch] (see commit 6991c2922f
for data), and José's u_hash_table.c has a comment saying Gallium should
probably consider switching to a linear probing hash table at some point.
So this seems like the best candidate for a shared data structure.
