hash: Improve double hashing
Instead of artificially introducing collisions in the step value by replacing 0 with 1 (which causes the value 1 to have twice the frequency of any other value), the step value can simply be computed as an uniformly distributed value in the range [1, rehash], extremes included. This is safe because any step value smaller than the hash modulus is co-prime with it, hence induces an orbit which includes every integer in [0, size - 1].
