David Chisnall e23882fb23 Rewrite the selector table in C++.
This replaces a few home-grown datastructures with third-party ones that
get a lot more testing:

 - The home-grown hopscotch hash table is moved to using robin map.  The
   original was designed to be lock free, but we've been using it behind
   a lock for ages.
 - The selector list is now a std::vector.
 - The types list now use std::forward_list.

This also removes a couple of code paths that haven't been used since we
started using the new ABI data structures internally and upgrading at
load time.

The new code tries to differentiate in the static type system between
registered and unregistered selectors.  The check for whether a selector
is registered is fragile and depends on no selector being mapped or
allocated in memory below the total number of selectors.  This check can
now disappear on most code paths.

On a single test machine (not guaranteed to be representative) the test
suite now completes around 20% faster.
