Fix broken error check in _hash_doinsert.

You can't just cast a HashMetaPage to a Page, because the meta page
data is stored after the page header, not at offset 0.  Fortunately,
this didn't break anything because it happens to find hashm_bsize
at the offset at which it expects to find pd_pagesize_version, and
the values are close enough to the same that this works out.

Still, it's a bug, so back-patch to all supported versions.

Mithun Cy, revised a bit by me.
