These items were used for statistics tracking, but no code at all
exists to consume them. By removing them we save

a) space
   because they counters required space, and did so in each and every
   json object

b) performance
   because calloc() needs to write less data and the counters are
   no longer maintained; cache performance can be better, load
   on OS main memory is lighter

We could conditionally enable/disable these counters, but I have not
done this they were really nowhere used and it looked more like a
left-over from the import of hashtable code.

This also adds a new API json_global_set_string_hash() which permits
to select the hash function. The default one is the only one that was
previously present. So there are no changes to existing apps, and the
new hash function needs to be explicitely be opted in. Especially for
smaller strings, the perllike functions seems to be around twice as
fast as the other one, with similarly good results in value distribution.

This provides more control over some detail aspects, many
of which are performance related.

This can be a very considerable performance saver.

* CVE-2013-6371: hash collision denial of service
* CVE-2013-6370: buffer overflow if size_t is larger than int

New lh_table_lookup_ex() method protects itself against null pointers
and invalid objects being passed in.

Change the resize check from "count > size" to "count >= size" to avoid a
potential infinite loop with high load factors and a full hash table.
