fixdep: use hash table instead of a single array

I noticed fixdep uses ~2% of cpu time in kernel build, in function
use_config()

fixdep spends a lot of cpu cycles in linear searches in its internal
string array. With about 400 stored strings per dep file, this begins to
be noticeable.

Convert fixdep to use a hash table.
