Algorithmic complexity attacks against hash tables have been known since 2003 (cf. [1, 2]), and they have been left unpatched for years until the 2011 attacks [3] against many libraries / (reference) implementations of programming languages. This patch adds a qHash overload taking two arguments: the value to be hashed, and a uint to be used as a seed for the hash function itself (support the global QHash seed was added in a previous patch). The seed itself is not used just yet; instead, 0 is passed. Compatibility with the one-argument qHash(T) implementation is kept through a catch-all template.
