collections: move hashmap's example to the struct.

Most people go straight to the struct, not looking at the module, so the
example was well hidden.

//! Unordered containers, implemented as hash-tables (`HashSet` and `HashMap` types)
//!
//! The tables use a keyed hash with new random keys generated for each container, so the ordering
//! of a set of keys in a hash table is randomized.
//!
//! This is currently implemented with robin hood hashing, as described in [1][2][3].
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! use collections::HashMap;
//!
//! // type inference lets us omit an explicit type signature (which
//! // would be `HashMap<&str, &str>` in this example).
//! let mut book_reviews = HashMap::new();
//!
//! // review some books.
//! book_reviews.insert("Adventures of Hucklebury Fin", "My favorite book.");
//! book_reviews.insert("Grimms' Fairy Tales", "Masterpiece.");
//! book_reviews.insert("Pride and Prejudice", "Very enjoyable.");
//! book_reviews.insert("The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", "Eye lyked it alot.");
//!
//! // check for a specific one.
//! if !book_reviews.contains_key(& &"Les Misérables") {
//! println!("We've got {} reviews, but Les Misérables ain't one.",
//! book_reviews.len());
//! }
//!
//! // oops, this review has a lot of spelling mistakes, let's delete it.
//! book_reviews.remove(& &"The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes");
//!
//! // look up the values associated with some keys.
//! let to_find = ["Pride and Prejudice", "Alice's Adventure in Wonderland"];
//! for book in to_find.iter() {
//! match book_reviews.find(book) {
//! Some(review) => println!("{}: {}", *book, *review),
//! None => println!("{} is unreviewed.", *book)
//! }
//! }
//!
//! // iterate over everything.
//! for (book, review) in book_reviews.iter() {
//! println!("{}: \"{}\"", *book, *review);
