diff-delta.c: Rationalize culling of hash buckets

The previous hash bucket culling resulted in a somewhat unpredictable
number of hash bucket entries in the order of magnitude of HASH_LIMIT.

Replace this with a Bresenham-like algorithm leaving us with exactly
HASH_LIMIT entries by uniform culling.
