[Bug #21170] st_table reserves -1 as a special hash value to indicate that an entry has been deleted. So that that's a valid value to be returned from the hash function, do_hash replaces -1 with 0 so that it is not mistaken for the sentinel. Previously, when upgrading an AR table to an ST table, rb_st_add_direct_with_hash was used which did not perform the same conversion, this could lead to a hash in a broken state where one if its entries which was supposed to exist being marked as a tombstone. The hash could then become further corrupted when the ST table required resizing as the falsely tombstoned entry would be skipped but it would be counted in num entries, leading to an uninitialized entry at index 15. In most cases this will be really rare, unless using a very poorly implemented custom hash function. This also adds two debug assertions, one that st_add_direct_with_hash does not receive the reserved hash value, and a second in rebuild_table_with, which ensures that after we rebuild/compact a table it contains the expected number of elements.
