Non-cryptographic hash for cache key #8756

@masaori335

Description

@masaori335

We found that OpenSSL's md5 is expensive (#8719). Replacing the library is an approach, but I start wondering we really need a cryptographic hash here.

#8755 is a PoC of using non-cryptographic hash for URL hash. If we look at collision ratio and benchmarks, the xxhash looks good for this use case.

A concern is when we change the hash algorithm, the cache needs to be cleared once.
