The problem is that interval_cmp_internal(), and hence interval_eq(),
says that '1 month' = '30 days'.  But they don't hash to the same thing.

I think we could fix this by having interval_hash() duplicate the
total-span calculation done by interval_cmp_internal, and then return
the hash of the resulting TimeOffset.  This is going to break existing
hash indexes on intervals, but there seems little choice...
