The new constructor uses the task-local RNG to retrieve seeds for the
two key values, which requires the runtime. Exposing a constructor that
takes the keys directly allows HashMaps to be used in programs that wish
to avoid the runtime.

This conveniently also makes it possible to use this as the TLS map so a TLS lookup is O(1) instead of O(n)
