Summary

Current data structure is using a hash of unordered lists. Those
unordered lists are quite efficient, because the least recently
inserted entries are most likely to used again. In order to avoid
long search times in other cases, the lists are hashed in to many
buckets. Unfortunatly a search for a miss needs an exhaustive
inspection and a careful definition of the hash.

Splay trees offer a similar feature (almost O(1) for access of the
least recently used entries), and amortized O(ln(n)) for almost all
other cases. Get rid of the hash.

Depends on D30283

Running perfomance test with parameters:

Maximum Runtime (max_seconds) = 10
Amount of valid connections (batch_size) = 2000
Amount of random, incoming packets (batch_size) = 1000
Repeat count of a random, incoming packet (attack_size) = 1000
Amount of open port forwardings (redir_size) = 2000

Despite the splay is much faster, it can stall during SPLAY_REMOVE for currently unknown reasons.
100% CPU in an infinite loop.

rebase to a buf fixed parent review

Despite the splay is much faster, it can stall during SPLAY_REMOVE for currently unknown reasons.
100% CPU in an infinite loop.

Fixed in parent review. The wrong pointer was freed during a loop.
