rust-index: improve phase computation speed

While less memory efficient, using an array is *much* faster than using a
HashMap, especially with the default hasher. It even makes the code simpler,
so I'm not really sure what I was thinking in the first place, maybe it's more
obvious now.

This fix a significant performance regression when using the rust version of the
code. (however, the C code still outperform rust on this operation)

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
