Compute hashtable sizes with nices properties
- prime sizes (for small to medium sizes)
- 2 prime-factor sizes (for big sizes)
- fast growth for small sizes
- slow growth for big sizes
Note:
this is just a tool for developers.
within borgbackup, it is just used to generate hash_sizes definition for _hashindex.c.
