We also do this for libnm, where it causes visible changes
in behavior. But if somebody would rely on the hashing implementation
for hash tables, it would be seriously flawed.
Next we will use siphash24() instead of the glib version g_direct_hash() or
g_str_hash(). Hence, the "nm-utils/nm-hash-utils.h" header becomes very
fundamental and will be needed basically everywhere.
Instead of requiring the users to include them, let it be included via
"nm-default.h" header.
Replace the usage of g_str_hash() with our own nm_str_hash().
GLib's g_str_hash() uses djb2 hashing function, just like we
do at the moment. The only difference is, that we use a diffrent
seed value.
Note, that we initialize the hash seed with random data (by calling
getrandom() or reading /dev/urandom). That is a change compared to
before.
This change of the hashing function and accessing the random pool
might be undesired for libnm/libnm-core. Hence, the change is not
done there as it possibly changes behavior for public API. Maybe
we should do that later though.
At this point, there isn't much of a change. This patch becomes
interesting, if we decide to use a different hashing algorithm.
That allows for the property list to contain derived
property types. Also, the list can be directly passed
off as a "const NMMetaAbstractInfo *const*" list.
