/* There are three kinds of entries in the table:
1. Unused: key == NULL
2. Active: key != NULL and key != dummy
3. Dummy: key == dummy
1. Unused: key == NULL and hash == 0
2. Dummy: key == dummy and hash == -1
3. Active: key != NULL and key != dummy and hash != -1
The hash field of Unused slots have no meaning.
The hash field of Dummny slots are set to -1
The hash field of Unused slots is always zero.
The hash field of Dummy slots are set to -1
meaning that dummy entries can be detected by
either entry->key==dummy or by entry->hash==-1.
