Merge #56 #62

56: Add additional benchmarks. r=Amanieu a=tkaitchuck

This covers performance of three cases I wanted to study when looking into https://github.com/Amanieu/hashbrown/issues/48

They are:
`grow_by_insertion_kb` which is similar to grow by insertion, but instead of every entry differing by 1, they differ by 1024. This makes an important performance difference to the hasher.

`find_existing_high_bits` which is similar to find_existing but uses 64 bit keys instead of 32 bit keys, where the lower 32 bits are zeros. This is a pathologically bad case for FxHash.

`insert_8_char_string` tests a case where the key is a string. (As opposed to all the existing tests which operate on u32 values. This is important to cover because strings as keys are very common.

62: Remove incorrect debug_assert r=Amanieu a=Amanieu

Fixes #60
