src: add hash expression

This is special expression that transforms an input expression into a
32-bit unsigned integer. This expression takes a modulus parameter to
scale the result and the random seed so the hash result becomes harder
to predict.

You can use it to set the packet mark, eg.

 # nft add rule x y meta mark set jhash ip saddr . ip daddr mod 2 seed 0xdeadbeef

You can combine this with maps too, eg.

 # nft add rule x y dnat to jhash ip saddr mod 2 seed 0xdeadbeef map { \
	0 : 192.168.20.100, \
	1 : 192.168.30.100 \
   }

Currently, this expression implements the jenkins hash implementation
available in the Linux kernel:

But it should be possible to extend it to support any other hash
function type.
