[nrf noup] settings: zms: use dedicated lookup cache hash function

Introduce ZMS_LOOKUP_CACHE_FOR_SETTINGS Kconfig option that enables a
dedicated hash function for the ZMS lookup cache that takes advantage
of the ZMS ID allocation scheme used by the ZMS settings backend.
As such, this option should only be used if an application uses ZMS via
the settings layer.
