Bug description:None of the common and decent non-crypto hash functions are 
included in PHP

Description:
------------
It'd be nice to see a module/class/library/function that supported the good
non-cryptographic hash functions which can be quite useful for some
situations.
For example (particularly) CityHash, Jenkins, Murmur3, and Spooky.

They can be a nice performance boost for situations where you need to use
lots of hashes and a cryptographic hash isn't needed.

Obviously you can just use sha for most things you could use a non-crypto
hash for, but it'd still be nice to have them available, especially with
the rise of 'big-data' type applications.

For reference,
http://blog.aggregateknowledge.com/2012/02/02/choosing-a-good-hash-function-part-3/
talks about selection, use case and comparisons, which might be
interesting. 


Test script:

Test script for something that doesn't exist doesn't make sense.

Expected result:
----------------
NA

Actual result:
--------------
NA
