Rename Linux universal release package from
`stockfish-ubuntu-x86-64-universal.tar.gz` to
`stockfish-linux-x86-64-universal.tar.gz` (and similar for the binary), as the
bundled binary should run on any Linux distro with glibc >= 2.35 (which is the
glibc version of the Ubuntu 22.04 build server).
Note that the Linux universal binary is built with static libstdc++ linkage, so
this adds no extra dependency.
This change will hopefully make it less confusing for users, and in line with
how we show it on stockfishchess.org (as Linux).

`stockfish-ubuntu-x86-64-universal.tar` goes from 94.8MiB to 67.4MiB (tar.gz)
Note that the CI code is written such that it easy to select other compression
schemes in the future (e.g. tar.xz) by simply changing the `archive_ext`
parameter.

Replace FNV-1a hash algorithm by public domain MurmurHash64A, by Austin
Appleby, which is faster and has better hash properties. This is also
the default hash algorithm of GNU C++ Standard Library.
Startup time on a given system (with x86-64-avx2 binaries) reduces from
378ms to 332ms (46ms faster). Hashing of the largest data input (46.1MB)
goes from 44.2ms to 6.2ms, so about 7x faster.
