* @ingroup lavu_hash
* MurmurHash3 hash function implementation.
*
* MurmurHash3 is a non-cryptographic hash function, of which three
* incompatible versions were created by its inventor Austin Appleby:
*
* - 32-bit output
* - 128-bit output for 32-bit platforms
* - 128-bit output for 64-bit platforms
*
* FFmpeg only implements the last variant: 128-bit output designed for 64-bit
* platforms. Even though the hash function was designed for 64-bit platforms,
* the function in reality works on 32-bit systems too, only with reduced
* performance.
*
* @anchor lavu_murmur3_seedinfo
* By design, MurmurHash3 requires a seed to operate. In response to this,
* libavutil provides two functions for hash initiation, one that requires a
* seed (av_murmur3_init_seeded()) and one that uses a fixed arbitrary integer
* as the seed, and therefore does not (av_murmur3_init()).
*
* To make hashes comparable, you should provide the same seed for all calls to
* this hash function -- if you are supplying one yourself, that is.
*
