[dev.link] cmd/internal/goobj2, cmd/link: use short hash function for short symbols

For symbols of size 8 bytes or below, we can map them to 64-bit
hash values using the identity function. There is no need to use
longer and more expensive hash functions.

For them, we introduce another pseudo-package, PkgIdxHashed64. It
is like PkgIdxHashed except that the hash function is different.

Note that the hash value is not affected with trailing zeros,
e.g. "A" and "A\0\0\0" have the same hash value. This allows
deduplicating a few more symbols. When deduplicating them, we
need to keep the longer one.
