codeparser: Use hashlib for hashing, not hash()

"hash() is randomised by default each time you start a new instance of recent
versions (Python3.3+) to prevent dictionary insertion DOS attacks"

which means we need to use hashlib.md5 to get consistent values for the codeparser cache under python 3. Prior to this, the codeparser cache was effectively useless under python3 as shown by performance regressions.

Looks good to me, I was actually wondering about the hashing mechanisms just yesterday. Are the sstate checksums stable between python 2 and python 3?

I've not actually checked, we didn't intentionally break anything. It doesn't actually matter that much since the python code between the two is different and hence the checksums will change...

Cheers,
