Currently we use 64-bit hash calculations on Wasm. The 64-bit hash
calculation make intensive uses of 64x64->128 bit multiplications,
which on many 64-bit platforms are compiler intrinsics and can be
compiled to one or two instructions. This is not the case on Wasm,
so it is not very performant.
This CL makes it use 32-bit hashes on Wasm, just like other 32-bit
architectures. The 32-bit hash calculation only uses 32x32->64 bit
multiplications, which can be compiled efficiently on Wasm.
Using 32-bit hashes may increase the chance of collisions. But it
is the same as 32-bit architectures like 386. And our Wasm port
supports only 32-bit address space (like 386), so this is not too
bad.
