Used hashed package name in _alpm_pkg_find
This results in huge gains to a lot of our codepaths since this is the most
frequent method of random access to packages in a list. The gains are seen
in both profiling and real life.
$ pacman -Sii zvbi
real: 0.41 sec -> 0.32 sec
strcmp: 16,669,760 calls -> 473,942 calls
_alpm_pkg_find: 52.73% -> 26.31% of time
$ pacman -Su (no upgrades found)
real: 0.40 sec -> 0.50 sec
strcmp: 19,497,226 calls -> 524,097 calls
_alpm_pkg_find: 52.36% -> 26.15% of time
There is some minor risk with this patch, but most of it should be avoided
by falling back to strcmp() if we encounter a package with a '0' hash value
(which we should not via any existing code path). We also do a strcmp once
hash values match to ensure against hash collisions. The risk left is that a
package name is modified once it was originally set, but the hash value is
left alone. That would probably result in a lot of other problems anyway.
