OPTIM: vars: use multiple name heads in the vars struct

Given that the original list-based version was using a list head as the
root of the variables, while the tree is using a single pointer, it made
sense to reuse that space to place multiple roots, indexed on the lower
bits of the name hash. Two roots slightly increase the performance level,
but the best gain is obtained with 4 roots. The performance is now always
above that of the list, even with small counts, and with 100 vars, it's
21% higher than before, or 67% higher than with the list.

We keep the same lock (it could have made sense to use one lock per head),
because most of the variables in large configs are attached to a stream
or a session, hence are not shared between threads. Thus there's no point
in sharding the pointer.
