find-if: optimized rewrite and hash support.
* lib.c (find_if): Function rewritten to use the seq_info sequence classification mechanism, for much better performance on vector-like objects. Also, supports hash tables just like find_max. * txr.1: Documentation updated regarding hash support of find-if.
