0a84132928 syntax: Conditionally deriving(Hash) with Writers
If #[feature(default_type_parameters)] is enabled for a crate, then
deriving(Hash) will expand with Hash<W: Writer> instead of Hash<SipState> so
more hash algorithms can be used.

bec7b766fb rustc: Move to FNV hashing for node/def ids
This leverages the new hashing framework and hashmap implementation to provide a
much speedier hashing algorithm for node ids and def ids. The hash algorithm
used is currentl FNV hashing, but it's quite easy to swap out.

I originally implemented hashing as the identity function, but this actually
ended up in slowing down rustc compiling libstd from 8s to 13s. I would suspect
that this is a result of a large number of collisions.

With FNV hashing, we get these timings (compiling with --no-trans, in seconds):

|           |  before  |  after  |
|-----------|---------:|--------:|
| libstd    |   8.324  |  6.703  |
| stdtest   |  47.674  | 46.857  |
| libsyntax |   9.918  |  8.400  |
