HT_ResetIter. This guarantees that callers cannot screw up by
modifying the table whilst iterating over it (and is necessary to
make the implementation safe; specifically we must guarantee that
the table will not get resized whilst iteration is happening.

disallowing HT_add_node during iteration should give the required
