Currently SHA1 is about 10% of our CPU, this patch reduces it to ~1%.
xxhash is a well-defined (stable) non-cryptographic hash optimized for
fast checksums (like crc32).
Collisions shouldn't be a problem, despite the reduced length:
- for actual file content (used to invalidate bg index shards), there are only two versions that can collide (new shard and old shard).
- for file paths in bg index shard filenames, we would need 2^32 files with the same filename to expect a collision. Imperfect hashing may reduce this a bit but it's well beyond what's plausible.
This will invalidate shards on disk (as usual; I bumped the version),
but this time the filenames are changing so the old files will stick
around :-( So this is more expensive than the usual bump, but would be
good to land before the v9 branch when everyone will start using bg index.
