bloom.c: introduce core Bloom filter constructs
Introduce the constructs for Bloom filters, Bloom filter keys and Bloom filter settings. For details on what Bloom filters are and how they work, refer to Dr. Derrick Stolee's blog post [1]. It provides a concise explanation of the adoption of Bloom filters as described in [2] and [3]. Implementation specifics: 1. We currently use 7 and 10 for the number of hashes and the size of each entry respectively. They served as great starting values, the mathematical details behind this choice are described in [1] and [4]. The implementation, while not completely open to it at the moment, is flexible enough to allow for tweaking these settings in the future. Note: The performance gains we have observed with these values are significant enough that we did not need to tweak these settings. The performance numbers are included in the cover letter of this series and in the commit message of the subsequent commit where we use Bloom filters to speed up `git log -- path`. 2. As described in [1] and [3], we do not need 7 independent hashing functions. We use the Murmur3 hashing scheme, seed it twice and then combine those to procure an arbitrary number of hash values. 3. The filters will be sized according to the number of changes in each commit, in multiples of 8 bit words.
