This is a C version of sparsehash (and also, maybe, densehash) that I
wrote way back when, and served as the inspiration for the C++
version.  The API for the C version is much uglier than the C++,
because of the lack of template support.  I believe the class works,
but I'm not convinced it's really flexible or easy enough to use.

It would be nice to rework this C class to follow the C++ API as
closely as possible (eg have a set_deleted_key() instead of using a
#define like this code does now).  I believe the code compiles and
runs, if anybody is interested in using it now, but it's subject to
major change in the future, as people work on it.
