The default is enough in most cases.  There are some specific 
situations (long values in hash, multiple colliding values) which 
trigger the message, and the message itself explains what to do 
(and we have the page at http://nginx.org/en/docs/hash.html which 
explains details).

We might want to better (read: automatically) handle some 
situation like non-colliding long values, where the only sensible 
solution is to increase ..._hash_bucket_size, but this has nothing 
to do with defaults change.  With any default one will be able to 
write a configuration which triggers the "could not build hash" 
message.
