Hash always use all characters in a long string
...
Hashes for long strings are computed only when they are used as keys
in a table, not a too common case. And, in that case, it is to easy to
force collisions changing only the characters which are not part of the
hash.

Cleaner definition for 'TString'
...
Use a variable-sized array to store string contents at the end of a
structure 'TString', instead of raw memory.

Short strings always use all bytes in the hash
...
Collisions in short strings occurr just by their existence, when
internalizing them. (Collisions in long strings is caused/controlled
by the program, when adding them as keys to the same table.)

by LUA_V* constants.

Strings inside Lua are not fully aligned
...
Removed code to ensure that strings inside Lua (as returned by
'lua_tolstring') always start in fully aligned addresses.
Since version 5.3 the documentation does not ensure that.
