Summary: pre-allocated dictionaries

Initial Comment:
Steve Kirsch (of Propel) expects that he may need to
pre-allocate a dictionary with a given hash table size,
to avoid frequent stops due to resizing. This would be
easy to add by using a keyword argument to dict_init(),
I believe. But note that Kirsch has no evidence yet of
a slowdown.
