rust-performance: introduce FastHashMap type alias for HashMap
Rust's default hashing is slow, because it is meant for preventing collision
attacks.
For all of the current Rust code, we don't care about those attacks, because
if an person with bad intentions has write access to your repo, you have other
issues.
I've chosen to use the TwoXHash crate because it was made by a reputable member
of the Rust community and has very good benchmarks.
For now it does not seem to improve performance by much for the current code,
but it's something else to not worry about when benchmarking code: in a
previous experiment with copytracing in Rust, it accounted for more than 10%
of the time of the entire script.

== New Features == * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument. * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument. * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument. * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option. == New Experimental Features == == Bug Fixes == == Backwards Compatibility Changes == * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax, you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`. * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and client at the same time. == Internal API Changes ==
