lookup_object: remove hashtable_index() and optimize hash_obj()np/lookup-object-hashing

hashtable_index() appears to be a close duplicate of hash_obj().
Keep only the later and make it usable for all cases.

Also remove the modulus as this is an expensive operation.
The size argument is always a power of 2 anyway, so a simple
mask operation provides the same result.

On a 'git rev-list --all --objects' run this decreased the time spent
in lookup_object from 27.5% to 24.1%.

[jc: with a few comments on "modulus turned into mask" by Peff]
