Make the remaining shared node lookups faster

Encode the shared nodes as quadkeys, as the comment on struct node
already said they were, with a branch-free bit interleave, so that
vertices that are near each other are near each other in the sorted list
too. Search the list with an inlined std::lower_bound instead of bsearch.

Size the Bloom filter by the number of nodes, at about 16 bits each and
at most 32MB, instead of always using 34MB, so that it can usually stay
in the cache, and set three bits for each node, chosen by a mixing hash,
within a single 64-bit word, so that each check still touches only one
cache line but has far fewer false positives than a single bit.

In the pass that marks the vertices with whether they are shared nodes,
this is about 1.7x faster with 70 thousand nodes and 1.9x faster with
3 million.
