Allow users of simplehash.h to perform direct deletions
Previously simplehash.h only exposed a method to perform a hash table
delete using the hash table key. This meant that the delete function had
to perform a hash lookup in order to find the entry to delete. Here we
add a new function so that users of simplehash.h can perform a hash delete
directly using the entry pointer, thus saving the hash lookup.
An upcoming patch that uses simplehash.h already has performed the hash
lookup so already has the entry pointer. This change will allow the
code in that patch to perform the hash delete without the code in
simplehash.h having to perform an additional hash lookup.
