This libgo patch improves the big-endian hash function for key sizes
less than 8 bytes.  The previous hash function would always make all
hash values a large multiple of some constants, which interacted badly
with the map code.  This patch fixes that problem and fixes PR 52342.
Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
Committed to mainline.
