Simon Wilkinson 8b224986eb opr: Add Bob Jenkins's hash functions
This imports a small subset of Bob Jenkins lookup3.c hash functions
into the opr library. At present we only import the subset of this
that deals with aligned arrays of integers, as this addresses our
immediate need.

It seems likely that if we're interested in a hash function for string
arrays (or other arbitrary data), that more recent functions such like
SpookyHash (from Bob Jenkins, again) or CityHash (from Google) may be
a better solution.

The immediate use case for this is removing the use of the '%' operator
when indexing speed critical hash tables, as well as ensuring fairer
distribution of entries across these tables.

A short set of test cases is also provided
