refactor newhash (revision 58463 another try) [fix GH-1600]
* st.c (rb_hash_bulk_insert): new API to bulk insert entries
into a hash. Given arguments are first inserted into the
table at once, then reindexed. This is faster than inserting
things using rb_hash_aset() one by one.
This arrangement (rb_ prefixed function placed in st.c) is
unavoidable because it both touches table internal and write
barrier at once.
* internal.h: delcare the new function.
* hash.c (rb_hash_s_create): use the new function.
* vm.c (core_hash_merge): ditto.
* insns.def (newhash): ditto.
* test/ruby/test_hash.rb: more coverage on hash creation.
* test/ruby/test_literal.rb: ditto.
