nat: improve nat44-ed outside address distribution

Use client address hash to pick the first outside address
instead of just address high octet, becasue it may denegerate
into stable 10/172/192, depending on nat address count.

Fix outside address distribution test to acually test the
distribution, not the algo, so previous distribution will
fail with 65 nat addresses and 100 clients:

FAIL: Outside address distribution based on source address
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".../test/test_nat44_ed.py", line 2048, in test_outside_address_distribution
    msg="Bad outside address distribution")
AssertionError: 156.25 not less than 0.33 : Bad outside address distribution

Type: improvement
