[PATCH] st.c (st_numhash): mix float value

[PATCH] st.c (st_numhash): mix float value

[Eric Wong]

FLONUM_P appears to generate too many false positives
in real world usage, with too many integers becoming
-2.0 or 2.0

So mix it into the original value and follow the original
shuffling path.

Revised benchmark results from hash benchmarks:

Speedup ratio: compare with the result of `2.1.5' (greater is better)
