Jenkins hash function was developed originally in 1996,
and was integrated in first versions of DPDK.
The function has been improved in 2006,
achieving up to 35% better performance, compared to the original one.
This patch integrates that code into the rte_jhash library.
It also updates the precalculated hash values in the unit test,
as the code now returns different values (expected).
A final note has been added in release notes for stating
the changes made.
