This is going to make pytools!4 more useful, by avoiding expensive

regression.

The key builder (701dc4ed) added field
names to the hash key which ended up slowing things down.

Example (in pytential test suite, loads ~110 times from cache):

PYOPENCL_TEST=port \
time -p python test_layer_pot_eigenvalues.py \
"test_ellipse_eigenvalues(cl._csc, 1, 5, 3, False)"

* Prior to 701dc4ed:

    real 21.68
    user 21.06
    sys 2.03

* As of 701dc4ed:

    real 27.11
    user 26.59
    sys 1.94

* As of this commit:

    real 22.29
    user 21.90
    sys 1.86

This commit doesn't make everything as fast as it used to be because
pymbolic expressions are still stringified before hashing. However,
caching (#67) will eventually help with that too.

Replace defaultdict(lambda: set()) with defaultdict(set).

This adds a class for building a key for equality comparison purposes.
In addition, it stringifies pymbolic expressions to reduce the
overhead of pymbolic expression comparison. This class can also be
used for generating persistent hash keys.

This change also converts instructions to use this class for
persistent hashing.
