Some files in gcc, like lto or tree, do large scale incremential hashing.
The current jhash implementation of this could be likely improved
by using an incremential hash that does not do a full rehashing
for every new value added.

This patch adds a new "inchash" class that abstracts the internal
state of the hash. This makes it easier to plug in new hashes
and also cleans up the code a bit.

Right now it is just implemented in the same way as the old
iterative hash in tree.c. The previous iterative hash code
from tree.c moved into a new separate file. Also I fixed up all
users to include the new header.

It should not really change any hashing by itself, it's just
a cleanup at this point.

If there isn't any concrete benefit from using explicit begin/end, I'd just initialize the data in the ctor.

Otherwise, this is a fine cleanup.

Presumably there's going to be some better hashing functions coming down the pipe?
