Willy Tarreau f0d188f6ed OPTIM: tools: improve hash distribution using a better prime seed
During tests it was noticed that the current hash is not that good
on 4- and 5- bit hashes. About 7.5% of all the 32-bit primes were tested
as candidates for the hash function, by submitting them 128 arrangements
of N pointers among 40k extracted from haproxy's pools, and the average
fill rates for 1- to 12- bit hashes were measured and compared. It was
clear that some values do not provide great hashes and other ones are
way more resistant.

The current value is not bad at all but delivers 42.6% unique 2-bit
outputs, 41.6% 3-bit, 38.0% 4-bit, 38.2% 5-bit and 37.1% 10-bit. Some
values did perform significantly better, among which 0xacd1be85 which
does 43.2% 2-bit, 42.5% 3-bit, 42.2% 4-bit, 39.2% 5-bit and 37.3% 10-bit.

The reverse value used in the ptr2_hash() was really underperforming and
was replaced with 0x9d28e4e9 which does 49.6%, 40.4%, 42.6%, 39.1%, and
37.2% respectvely.

This should slightly improve the accuracy of the task and memory
profiling, and will be useful for pools.

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for
ease of use.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for :

  - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
  - LICENSE for the project's license
  - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions

The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory :

  - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy
  - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual
  - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual
  - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine
  - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux
  - doc/management.txt for the management guide
  - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite
  - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference
  - doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style
  - doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
