Though a new implementation is in the works, roll in
some performance improvements in the mean time.
The probe routines have been broken out into separate
reader/writer variants. These variants are much less
branch-intensive (and don't involve predict to stall
in many cases).
New implementation is attempting to deal with
interface-induced overheads.
Documentation and regressions tests have been updated to reflect this.
This functionality allows for individual hash tables use to different
allocation functions. Thanks to Wez Furlong for pointing out the necessary
documentation update for ck_ht.
Specifically, any platform that has CK support for 64-bit
load/store operations.
Additional improvements have been made to the unit tests
to disambiguate put/get failures.
