Jez Ng ad1c32e9b3 [lld-macho][nfc] Reduce size of icfEqClass hash
... from a `uint64_t` to a `uint32_t`. (LLD-ELF uses a `uint32_t` too.)

About a 1.7% reduction in peak RSS when linking chromium_framework on my
3.2 GHz 16-Core Intel Xeon W Mac Pro, and no stat sig change in wall
time.

No appreciable change (~0.01%) in number of `equals` comparisons either:

Before:

  ld64.lld: ICF needed 8 iterations
  ld64.lld: equalsConstant() called 701643 times
  ld64.lld: equalsVariable() called 3438526 times

After:

  ld64.lld: ICF needed 8 iterations
  ld64.lld: equalsConstant() called 701729 times
  ld64.lld: equalsVariable() called 3438526 times
