Algorithmic complexity attacks against hash tables have been known since 2003 (cf. [1, 2]), and they have been left unpatched for years until the 2011 attacks [3] against many libraries / (reference) implementations of programming languages. This patch adds a qHash overload taking two arguments: the value to be hashed, and a uint to be used as a seed for the hash function itself (support the global QHash seed was added in a previous patch). The seed itself is not used just yet; instead, 0 is passed. Compatibility with the one-argument qHash(T) implementation is kept through a catch-all template.

README
This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on QTestlib. In order
to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
test environment that these tests are written for.
Linux X11:
* The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.
* The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.
* Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
and activation.
* Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
wait for the user to click the window.
