[SPARK-23947][SQL] Add hashUTF8String convenience method to hasher classes ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? Add `hashUTF8String()` to the hasher classes to allow Spark SQL codegen to generate cleaner code for hashing `UTF8String`s. No change in behavior otherwise. Although with the introduction of SPARK-10399, the code size for hashing `UTF8String` is already smaller, it's still good to extract a separate function in the hasher classes so that the generated code can stay clean. ## How was this patch tested? Existing tests.
