While C is happy to cast "const void *" to "const unsigned char *"
silently, C++ insists on an explicit cast. Since we put these
functions into header files, cpluspluscheck whines about that.
Add the cast to pacify it.

We've been speculating for a long time that hash-based keyword lookup
ought to be faster than binary search, but up to now we hadn't found
a suitable tool for generating the hash function. Joerg Sonnenberger
provided the inspiration, and sample code, to show us that rolling our
own generator wasn't a ridiculous idea. Hence, do that.
The method used here requires a lookup table of approximately 4 bytes
per keyword, but that's less than what we saved in the predecessor commit
afb0d0712, so it's not a big problem. The time savings is indeed
significant: preliminary testing suggests that the total time for raw
parsing (flex + bison phases) drops by ~20%.
Patch by me, but it owes its existence to Joerg Sonnenberger;
thanks also to John Naylor for review.
