[rfa] symbol hashing, part 1/n - updates to hash functions


This patch still has two logical parts; if you strongly prefer I can break
it up further, but they are somewhat intertwined and I think neither should
be objectionable.  They are:
  - Fix a looping bug in msymbol_hash_iw.  It would not stop on '(' if there
was whitespace before it.
  - Update to use the identifier hash function that libiberty uses, and
more buckets.

Is this OK?

	* minsyms.c (msymbol_hash): Use better hash function.
	Return hash value without taking modulus.
	(msymbol_hash_iw): Likewise.  Terminate loop at '(' properly.
	(add_minsym_to_hash_table): Take modulus of msymbol_hash's return
	value.
	(add_minsym_to_demangled_hash_table): Likewise for msymbol_hash_iw.
	(lookup_minimal_symbol): Likewise for both.

	* objfiles.h: Increase MINIMAL_SYMBOL_HASH_SIZE to match modern
	binaries.
