Increase hash table load factor to reduce memory usage in embedded environments. Trade slight performance decrease for memory savings. Changes: - Rename UPPER_BOUND to KH_UPPER_BOUND to avoid name conflicts - Adjust load factor from 75% to 87.5% (from (x)*3/4 to (x)*7/8) - Add documentation explaining memory vs performance trade-off Memory impact: - Delays hash table resizes, allowing more efficient memory utilization - Particularly beneficial for applications with many hash tables - Reduces wasted bucket allocation in resize-heavy scenarios - Aligns with mruby's memory-first design priority Performance impact: - Slightly more hash collisions (~43% increase in average probes) - Minimal real-world impact due to good cache locality in linear probing - All existing tests pass with identical functionality The optimization is especially valuable for mruby's embedded target environment where memory is more constrained than CPU cycles.
