Simplify initialization of incremental hash state
The standalone functions fasthash{32,64} use length for two purposes:
how many bytes to hash, and how to perturb the internal seed.
Developers using the incremental interface may not know the length
ahead of time (e.g. for C strings). In this case, it's advised to
pass length to the finalizer, but initialization still needed some
length up front, in the form of a placeholder macro.
Separate the concerns by having the standalone functions perturb the
internal seed themselves from their own length parameter, allowing
to remove "len" from fasthash_init(), as well as the placeholder macro.
