## Description

Currently, the errors are not sentinel, and so are hard to test for. This PR makes sure hash collision errors are accounted for.

## Changes

- Add `ErrBadHash`. Happens when there are too many collisions for an item to be added.

### Design Decisions

- Chose to name `ErrBadHash` over `ErrCycle` because the feedbach that the user should be given is to evaluate their hash functions. Cycle collision is a bit esoteric.

## Checklist

- [x] Tests pass
- [x] Docs updated
