[PATCH 28/30] test-name-hash: add helper to compute name-hash functions

["Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Derrick Stolee <stolee@xxxxxxxxx>

Using this tool, we can count how many distinct name-hash values exist
within a list of paths. Examples include

 git ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD | \
	     test-tool name-hash | \
  	      awk "{print \$1;}" | \
  		 sort -ns | uniq | wc -l

which outputs the number of distinct name-hash values that appear at
HEAD. Or, the following which presents the resulting name-hash values of
maximum multiplicity:

 git ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD | \
	     test-tool name-hash | \
	      awk "{print \$1;}" | \
	       sort -n | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -n 25

For an internal monorepo with around a quarter million paths at HEAD,
the highest multiplicity for the standard name-hash function was 14,424
while the full name-hash algorithm had only seven hash values with any
collision, with a maximum multiplicity of two.
