This was initially not implemented simply because I forgot about the
size limit of constraint names in PostgreSQL (63 bytes). Using the old
technique we can't add foreign keys for certain tables. For example,
adding a foreign key on
protected_branch_merge_access_levels.protected_branch_id would lead to
the following key name:
fk_protected_branch_merge_access_levels_protected_branches_protected_branch_id
This key is 78 bytes long, thus violating the PostgreSQL size
requirements.
The hashing strategy is copied from Rails' foreign_key_name() method,
which unfortunately is private and subject to change without notice.
