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 global integer, to be used as a seed for the hash function itself. The seed is randomly initialized the first time a QHash detaches from shared_null. Right now the seed is not used at all -- another patch will modify qHash to make use of it.
