     * L = lookup
     *
     * In this section the client sends a number of password hashes (max = passwords_max).
     * The goal is to check them against the long-term memory
     * to find out if the password is either reserved by any client (can be the same, too)
     * or if it was already checked in the past and then to send a reject.
     * This is a complicated process as we have to deal with lots of duplicate data
     * and with lots of clients both at the same time.
     * We also have to be very fast in looking up the information otherwise the clients
     * lose too much performance.
     * Once a client sends a commit message, all short-term data related to the client
     * is moved to the long-term memory.
     * To do that in the commit section, we're storing each hash in the short-term memory
     * along with client_fd.
     * The short-term memory itself is limited in size. That's possible because each client
     * tells the server in the handshake the maximum number of passwords it will send
     * before it will either disconnect or send a commit signal.
     * The first procedure for each package of hashes sent by the client is to sort them.
     * This is done in the client thread and without any mutex barriers, therefore the server
     * is able to use multiple threads for this action.
     * This is the only time in the entire process when data is being sorted because
     * of a smart way of using the data in the following process up to
     * and later even in the commit process.
     * We need to make sure that a hash which is stored in the short-term memory is not
     * already in both the short-term and the long-term memory otherwise we end up in a
     * corrupted database.
     * Therefor, as a first step after the data has been sorted, we need to remove all duplicates.
     * Such duplicates can occur easily in hashcat, for example if hashcat uses a 's' rule.
     * If such a 's' rule searches for a character which does not exist in the base word
     * the password is not changed.
     * If we have multiple of such rules we create lots of duplicates.
     * As to this point there was no need to use any mutex.
     * But from now on we need a mutex because we will access two shared memory regions
     * which both can be written to from any other client.
     * We'll check the both databases and remove any existing hashes before the go into
     * the short-term memory but at the same time, update the send[] buffer in case we
     * need to reject the hash.
     * This is possible because along with the hash, we also keep track of its original position
     * in the client stream.
     * No we ne'll add the remaining hashes to the short-term memory.
     * This process needs no additional sorting, but we need to update the hashes
     * at the correct position because this is important for the binary tree search.
     * So we can not simply append it to the end.
     * We do not need to care about the short-term memory size because it was preallocated
     * and it is safe the client does not send more hashes that max_passwords.
     * The trick here is, since all data at this point is sorted, to merge them in a reverse order.
     * Using the reverse order allows us to reuse the existing memory, we do not need to
     * have two buffer allocated. This is more important to the long-term memory which is
     * using the same technique but has an always growing size.
     * Basically what we do is that we will use the hashes of the current one of the new hash array
     * and the current one of the short-term memory as a representation of a pure number.
     * We take the larger on (a comparison can always be only smaller or larger, not equal)
     * and store it at the highest array index. We repeat this process till both buffers
     * have iterate through all of their elements.
     * It's like a broken zipper.
