Allow simplehash to use already-calculated hash values.
Add _lookup_hash and _insert_hash functions for callers that have already calculated the hash value of the key. The immediate use case is for hash algorithms that write to disk in partitions. The hash value can be calculated once, used to perform a lookup, used to select the partition, then written to the partition along with the tuple. When the tuple is read back, the hash value does not need to be recalculated.
