Fix several hash functions that were taking chintzy shortcuts instead of
delivering a well-randomized hash value. I got religion on this after observing that performance of multi-batch hash join degrades terribly if the higher-order bits of hash values aren't random, as indeed was true for say hashes of small integer values. It's now expected and documented that hash functions should use hash_any or some comparable method to ensure that all bits of their output are about equally random. initdb forced because this change invalidates existing hash indexes. For the same reason, this isn't back-patchable; the hash join performance problem will get a band-aid fix in the back branches.

|

* It is expected that every bit of a hash function's 32-bit result is
|
||||
* as random as every other; failure to ensure this is likely to lead
|
||||
* to poor performance of hash tables. In most cases a hash
|
||||
* function should use hash_any() or its variant hash_uint32().
