tb-hash: improve tb_jmp_cache hash function in user mode
Optimizations to cross-page chaining and indirect branches make
performance more sensitive to the hit rate of tb_jmp_cache.
The constraint of reserving some bits for the page number
lowers the achievable quality of the hashing function.

However, user-mode does not have this requirement. Thus,
with this change we use for user-mode a hashing function that
is both faster and of better quality than the previous one.

Measurements:

Note: baseline (i.e. speedup == 1x) is QEMU v2.9.0.

Here I also tried the hash function suggested by Paolo ("multhash"):

return ((uint64_t) (pc * 2654435761) >> 32) & (TB_JMP_CACHE_SIZE - 1);

As you can see it is just as good as the other new function ("hash"),
which is what I ended up going with.
