updated mishmash - added second hash capabilities by converting Mishmash to a modified variadic function - takes and uses the accumulator if given

+# Mishmash
+
+this is a non-cryptographic hash optimized for short strings.
+
+adapted from CodeDweller/mishmash.h/cpp
+https://code.microneil.com/madscientist/CodeDweller/src/branch/master
+
+to use: use the Mishmash function. If you're in need of a second hash (or could be) keep the second value returned, that's the accumulator. Mishmash will take that in a second call, along with your string, to create a second hash.
