utf8.c: Shorten hash key for speed

Experiments have shown that longer hash keys impact performance.  See
the thread at
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2012-08/msg00869.html

This patch shortens a key used very frequently.  There are other keys in
this hash which are used frequently in some circumstances, but I expect
to change to use fewer in the future, so am not changing them now
