We need to guarantee that the last bit is 1, otherwise an element may
hash to just zeroes with probability 1/(2^64) and trigger an infinite
loop.
See issue #1657.

The function to generate graphs is also more flexible as now includes
step and max value. The step of the samples generation function is no
longer limited to min step of 1000.

This will allow future changes like compressed representations.
Currently the magic is not checked for performance reasons but this may
change in the future, for example if we add new types encoded in strings
that may have the same size of HyperLogLogs.

Better results can be achieved by compensating for the bias of the raw
approximation just after 2.5m (when LINEARCOUNTING is no longer used) by
using a polynomial that approximates the bias at a given cardinality.
The curve used was found using this web page:
http://www.xuru.org/rt/PR.asp
That performs polynomial regression given a set of values.

The following form is given:
HLLADD myhll
No element is provided in the above case so if 'myhll' var does not
exist the result is to just create an empty HLL structure, and no update
will be performed on the registers.
In this case, the DB should still be set dirty and the command
propagated.
