This changes the map lookup behavior for string maps with 2-8 keys.
There was already previously a fastpath for 0 items and 1 item.
Now, if a string-keyed map has <= 8 items, first check all the
keys for length first. If only one has the right length, then
just check it for equality and avoid hashing altogether. Once
the map has more than 8 items, always hash like normal.
I don't know why some of the other non-string map benchmarks
got faster. This was with benchtime=2s, multiple times. I haven't
anything else getting slower, though.

Doing grow work on reads is not multithreaded safe.
Changed code to do grow work only on inserts & deletes.
This is a short-term fix, eventually we'll want to do
grow work in parallel to recover the space of the old
table.
Fixes#5120.

Hashtable is arranged as an array of
8-entry buckets with chained overflow.
Each bucket has 8 extra hash bits
per key to provide quick lookup within
a bucket. Table is grown incrementally.
Update #3885
Go time drops from 0.51s to 0.34s.
