Make hash_combine accept a configurable hash function

Summary:
std::hash is not awesome and not configurable.  Typical cases you might want to customize are:
string: I happen to know that fnv isn't super awesome, for example, and that's what folly uses for std::hash fbstring.
pointers: you may want to hash the contents of the pointer instead of the address for certain types.

This is a very simple diff that lets you do that.  It provides StdHasher that passes through to std::hash and uses that for hash_combine, so this should be 100% backward compatible.

Test Plan: test_hash.  I will add another test for using a hasher besides StdHasher shortly.
