dictFingerprint() fingerprinting made more robust.
The previous hashing used the trivial algorithm of xoring the integers together. This is not optimal as it is very likely that different hash table setups will hash the same, for instance an hash table at the start of the rehashing process, and at the end, will have the same fingerprint. Now we hash N integers in a smarter way, by summing every integer to the previous hash, and taking the integer hashing again (see the code for further details). This way it is a lot less likely that we get a collision. Moreover this way of hashing explicitly protects from the same set of integers in a different order to hash to the same number. This commit is related to issue redis#1240.
