Merge #14074: Use std::unordered_set instead of set in blockfilter interface

fef5adcc331c4d7b92b71e03fc8a73343a865599 blockfilter: Use unordered_set instead of set in blockfilter. (Jim Posen)
4fb789e9b2ffdf48fd50293b3982b3fce4d5fbdf Extract CSipHasher to it's own file in crypto/ directory. (Jim Posen)

Pull request description:

  Use `std::unordered_set` (hash set) instead of `std::set` (tree set) in blockfilter interface, as suggested by @ryanofsky in #12254. This may result in a very minor speedup, but I haven't measured.

  This moves `CSipHasher` to it's own file `crypto/siphash.h`, so that it can be used in the libbitcoin_util library without including `hash.{h,cpp}`. I'm open to other suggestions on solving this issue if people would prefer to leave CSipHasher where it is.
