git: performance enhancements

Inspired by some changes made in game of trees, I've
implemented a number of speedups in git9.

First, hashing the chunks during deltification with
murmurhash instead of sha1 speeds up the delta search
significantly.

The stretch function was micro-optimized a bit as well,
since that was taking a large portion of the time when
chunking.

Finally, the full path is not stored. We only care about
grouping files with the same name and path. We don't care
about the ordering. Therefore, only the hash of the path
xored with the hash of the diretory is kept, which saves
a bunch of mallocs and string munging.

This reduces the time spent repacking some test repos
significantly.
