RFR (XS): 8234127: BasicHashtable does not support small table_size

[Man Cao]

Thanks for the review. Yes, I will try using ResourceHashtable in new code.
The BasicHashtable does not work with size 2 and 3, either. In my use case,
the initial size is based on a JVM flag (G1UpdateBufferSize), so it is
dependent on user input.
