Previously the virtual cache was implemented using a
map[ast.Value]... which works for scalar key terms but not composites
(because they're not comparable.) This change updates the virtual
cache to use a util.HashMap that supports all term kinds. This
prevents the virtual cache lookup/insert from panicing when a key like
data.x.y[[1]] is received.
In addition to fixing the virtual cache, this change updates the
Term.Equal() function to include an early-exit for types that do not
allocate in their Equal() functions.
The early-exit was added because swapping out the map[ast.Value]...
for util.HashMap introduced allocations into the virtual cache
lookup/insert operations which doubled the benchmark latency. See
below for benchmark results before/after this commit.
This change will also let us memoize virtual sets using the same cache
(see #822).
Fixes #1197
