This API is used for both const and non-const strings, depending on
whether there is a deallocator passed or not, so the C type system
can't distinguish this for us.
XXX Perhaps this should be two separate APIs, one which takes
const-qualified pointers and one which takes non-const-qualified
pointers.
When an unsigned char is shifted << 24 bits its type will be
promoted to signed 32-bits. If the value is then assigned to
an unsigned 64-bit value sign extension will occur.
Prevent the unwanted sign extension by explicitly casting the
value to unsigned long before shifting.

Use uintptr_t for hash type; this is consistent with CoreFoundation, which uses
32-bit integers on 32-bit platforms for the hash code, and 64-bit integers on
64-bit platforms. (libheimbase is modelled on CoreFoundation.)
Previously we used unsigned long, which would have the same behavior on
LP32/LP64 systems, but not on Windows (where unsigned long is 32-bits on 64-bit
platforms).
