internal_hashmap_first_key_and_value() returns the first value, or %NULL
if the hashmap is empty.
However, hashmaps may contain %NULL values. That means, a caller getting
%NULL doesn't know whether the hashmap is empty or whether the first
value is %NULL.
For example, a caller may be tempted to do something like:
if ((val = hashmap_steal_first_key_and_value (h, (void **) key))) {
// process first entry.
}
But this is only correct if the caller made sure that the hash is either
not empty or contains no NULL values.
Anyway, since a %NULL return value can signal an empty hash or a %NULL
value, it seems error prone to leave the key output argument
uninitialized in situations that the caller cannot clearly distinguish
(without making additional assumptions).
