Removed TRIGGER_LEVEL byte masking from INSERT_STRING and UPDATE_HASH due to poor performance on levels 6 and 9 especially with optimized versions of UPDATE_HASH.

From commit d306c75d3bb36cba73aec9b3b3ca378e31d1799e:

.. we hash 4 bytes, instead of 3, for certain levels. This shortens the hash chains, and also improves the quality
of each hash entry.
