/// \brief Convert a hash value of arbitrary type to a Python hash value.
///
/// This templated function is a convenient wrapper to produce a valid hash
/// value of type Py_hash_t, which is expected to be used as the return value
/// of a PyTypeObject.tp_hash implementation.  Py_hash_t is a signed integer
/// the same size as Py_ssize_t.
///
/// The major concern is that -1 means an error in tp_hash and so we need to
/// ensure that this value is never returned.
///
/// If the size of the original hash type is small enough, we convert
/// the original hash value to a value of Py_hash_t, resetting all higher bits
/// to 0.  Due to the assumption on the sizes, the conversion to HashvalType
/// is safe, and (after clearing the higher bits) results in a valid positive
/// value.
///
/// If the size of the input and return types is the same, we clear the
/// highest bit of the original hash so the resulting value will be in a valid
/// positive range of Py_hash_t.  If the original type is unsigned, there's
/// probably no better conversion than this because otherwise the conversion
/// to Py_hash_t could result in an undefined behavior.  If the original type
/// is signed, this conversion reduces the effective value range of the
/// original hash.  If this is not desired, the caller should convert it
/// by itself (note that -1 should be still avoided).
///
/// This function does not support the case where the size of the original
/// hash type is larger than that of Py_hash_t.
