This implements a hash table.
* Keys are unique.  Adding an item fails if the key is already there.
* Keys and items are pointed at, not copied.  If you change the value
  of the key after it is inserted then hfind will not be able to find it.
* The hash table maintains a position that can be set and queried.
* The table length doubles dynamically and never shrinks.  The insert
  that causes table doubling may take a long time.
* The table length splits when the table length equals the number of items
  Comparisons usually take 7 instructions.
  Computing a hash value takes 35+6n instructions for an n-byte key.
 
  hcreate  - create a hash table
  hdestroy - destroy a hash table
   hcount  - The number of items in the hash table
   hkey    - key at the current position
   hkeyl   - key length at the current position
   hstuff  - stuff at the current position
  hfind    - find an item in the table
   hadd    - insert an item into the table
   hdel    - delete an item from the table
  hstat    - print statistics about the table
   hfirst  - position at the first item in the table
   hnext   - move the position to the next item in the table
