Add Bloom filter implementation.

Browse Source 
A Bloom filter is a space-efficient, probabilistic data structure that
can be used to test set membership.  Callers will sometimes incur false
positives, but never false negatives.  The rate of false positives is a
function of the total number of elements and the amount of memory
available for the Bloom filter.

Two classic applications of Bloom filters are cache filtering, and data
synchronization testing.  Any user of Bloom filters must accept the
possibility of false positives as a cost worth paying for the benefit in
space efficiency.

This commit adds a test harness extension module, test_bloomfilter.  It
can be used to get a sense of how the Bloom filter implementation
performs under varying conditions.

This is infrastructure for the upcoming "heapallindexed" amcheck patch,
which verifies the consistency of a heap relation against one of its
indexes.
