OFFSETOF_VAR macro to simplify hashmap iterators
While we cannot rely on a `__typeof__' operator being portable
to use with `offsetof'; we can calculate the pointer offset
using an existing pointer and the address of a member using
pointer arithmetic for compilers without `__typeof__'.
This allows us to simplify usage of hashmap iterator macros
by not having to specify a type when a pointer of that type
is already given.
In the future, list iterator macros (e.g. list_for_each_entry)
may also be implemented using OFFSETOF_VAR to save hackers the
trouble of using container_of/list_entry macros and without
relying on non-portable `__typeof__'.
v3: use `__typeof__' to avoid clang warnings
