[issue8188] Unified hash for numeric types.

I've finished reviewing the patch and I think it's quite ready to be
applied.

The documentation in stdtypes.rst says that P = 2**61-1 on 64-bit
machines. This should be changed to reflect the fact that actually
sizeof long is the deciding factor. I attach a patch that also fixes
the typo pointed out by Christophe Simonis.
