The implementation bundles the xxHash v0.8.0 release and includes all the variants
- xxh32, 32-bit wide
- xxh64, 64-bit wide
- xxh3, 64-bit wide
- xxh128, 128-bit wide
An initial hash state can be passed through the options arrray. An additional
functionality not targeted in this implementation is the secret support in xxh3
and xxh128. That can be added at a later point.
The serialization for xxh3 and xxh128 should not be implemented, as the
state would contain the secret. Despite the xxHash is a non crypto
algorithm, the secret would be serialized as plain text which would be
insecure.

The implementation is based on the upstream PMurHash. The following
variants are implemented
- murmur3a, 32-bit hash
- murmur3c, 128-bit hash for x86
- murmur3f, 128-bit hash for x64
The custom seed support is not targeted by this implementation. It will
need a major change to the API, so then custom arguments can be passed
through `hash_init`. For now, the starting hash is always zero.

This variant of crc32 is heavily used by storage systems, such as iSCSI, SCTP,
Btrfs, ext4, and is increasingly being used in API (such as Google Cloud
Storage, and Apache Kafka).
