David Malone 527f5ce021 Two minor changes to dirhash, which result in some marginal benchmark
improvements.

1) If deleting an entry results in a chain of deleted slots ending in an
   empty slot, then we can be a bit more aggressive about marking slots as
   empty.

2) The last stage of the FNV hash is to xor the last byte of data
   into the hash. This means that filenames which differ only in
   the last byte will be placed close to one another in the hash
   table, which forms longer chains. To work around this common
   case, we also hash in the address of the dirhash structure.

     news/cancel = news/articles/control/cancel for a tradspool inn server
     squid2 = squid level 2 directory (dirs called 00->FF)
     squid3 = squid level 3 directory (files called 00001F00->00001FFF)
