Title: Makes normal usage of HyperLogLog as fast as the builder

My benchmarks show that the normal usage of HyperLogLogMonoid.apply(x)

and then calling plus on created instances is now just as fast as using the builder.

This is important because the builder code doesn't fit cleanly into scalding or summingbird's model of how to work with Monoids.

I actually wonder if we should remove the builder code node, but I'll leave that the Ashu to decide.
