Store handle count in FastSeparateChainingHashTable - Using handles_ vector directly in FastSeparateChainingHashTable can cause problems. One example is a distinctify hash table which doesn't accept any payload. In this case, the reference to handles_ vector becomes garbage after the constructor gets executed. Therefore to avoid faults about accessing an invalid reference, we use the number of handles as a guarding mechanism. - Verified by reducing the hash table size artificially, so as to forcing a ``resize()`` operation. The ``destroyPayload()`` function gets called in ``resize()``. The fix in this PR fixes the behavior of ``destroyPayload`` function.
