I was compiling origin/master today with DEVELOPER compiler flags
and was greeted by:
t/helper/test-lazy-init-name-hash.c: In function ‘cmd_main’:
t/helper/test-lazy-init-name-hash.c:172:5: error: ‘nr_threads_used’ may be used uninitilized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

t/helper/test-lazy-init-name-hash.c:115:6: note: ‘nr_threads_used’ was declared here
int nr_threads_used;

I do not see how we can arrive at that line without having `nr_threads_used`
initialized, as we'd have `count > 1` (which asserts that we ran the
loop above at least once, such that it *should* be initialized).
Just clear the variable at the beginning of the function to squelch
the warning.

Add t/helper/test-lazy-init-name-hash.c test code
to demonstrate performance times for lazy_init_name_hash()
using the original single-threaded and the new multi-threaded
code paths.
Includes a --dump option to dump the created hashmaps to
stdout. You can use this to run both code paths and
confirm that they generate the same hashmaps.
Includes a --analyze option to analyze performance of both
code paths over a range of index sizes to help you find a
lower bound for the LAZY_THREAD_COST in name-hash.c.
For example, passing "-a 4000" will set "istate.cache_nr"
to 4000 and then try the multi-threaded code -- probably
giving 2 threads with 2000 entries each. It will then
run both the single-threaded (1x4000) and the multi-threaded
(2x2000) and compare the times. It will then repeat the
test with 8000, 12000, and etc. so that you can see the
cross over.
