runtime: fix aeshash of empty string
Aeshash currently computes the hash of the empty string as hash("", seed) = seed. This is bad because the hash of a compound object with empty strings in it doesn't include information about where those empty strings were. For instance [2]string{"", "foo"} and [2]string{"foo", ""} might get the same hash. Fix this by returning a scrambled seed instead of the seed itself. With this fix, we can remove the scrambling done by the generated array hash routines. The test also rejects hash("", seed) = 0, if we ever thought it would be a good idea to try that. The fallback hash is already OK in this regard. Change-Id: Iaedbaa5be8d6a246dc7e9383d795000e0f562037 Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/14129Reviewed-by: jcd . <jcd@golang.org>
