[PATCH 2/3] xdiff: avoid more compiler warnings with XDL_FAST_HASH on 32-bit machines

Hide literals that can cause compiler warnings for 32-bit architectures in expressions that evaluate to small numbers there. Some compilers warn that 0x0001020304050608 won't fit into a 32-bit long, others that shifting right by 56 bits clears a 32-bit value completely.

The correct values are calculated in the 64-bit case, which is all that matters in this if-branch.
