[cppyy] Fix hash collision in TemplateProxy dispatch for CPPOverload objects

Distinct CPPOverload objects (e.g:- different global functions) previously
generated identical hash signatures because HashSignature relied solely on
Py_TYPE and Py_REFCNT. This caused the TemplateProxy to retrieve incorrect
cached instantiations.

This patch adds object identity (pointer address) to the hash calculation
for CPPOverload and TemplateProxy types using golden ratio bit mixing.

Fixes #20526.
