qcow2: use a hash to look for entries in the L2 cache
The current cache algorithm traverses the array starting always from
the beginning, so the average number of comparisons needed to perform
a lookup is proportional to the size of the array.
By using a hash of the offset as the starting point, lookups are
faster and independent from the array size.
The hash is computed using the cluster number of the table, multiplied
by 4 to make it perform better when there are collisions.
In my tests, using a cache with 2048 entries, this reduces the average
number of comparisons per lookup from 430 to 2.5.
