vm_reserv.c uses its own bitstring implemenation for popmaps. Using
the bitstring_t type from a standard header eliminates the code
duplication, allows some bit-at-a-time operations to be replaced with
more efficient bitstring range operations, and, in
vm_reserv_test_contig, allows bit_ffc_area_at to more efficiently
search for a big-enough set of consecutive zero-bits.

Make bitstring changes improve the vm_reserv code. Define a bit_ntest
method to test whether a range of bits is all set, or all clear.
Define bit_ff_at and bit_ff_area_at to implement the ffs and ffc
versions with a parameter to choose between set- and clear- bits.
Improve the area_at implementation. Modify the bit_nset and
bit_nclear implementations to allow code optimization in the cases
when start or end are multiples of _BITSTR_BITS.

Add a few new cases to bitstring_test.

bitstring: add functions to find contiguous set/unset bit sequences

Add bit_ffs_area_at and bit_ffc_area_at functions for searching a bit
string for a sequence of contiguous set or unset bits of at least the
specified size.

The bit_ffc_area function will be used by the Intel ice driver for
implementing resource assignment logic using a bitstring to represent
whether or not a given index has been assigned or is currently free.

The bit_ffs_area, bit_ffc_area_at and bit_ffs_area_at functions are
implemented for completeness.

I'd like to add further test cases for the new functions, but I'm not
really sure how to add them easily. The new functions depend on specific
sequences of bits being set, while the bitstring tests appear to run for
varying bit sizes.

Improve performance and functionality of the bitstring(3) api

Two new functions are provided, bit_ffs_at() and bit_ffc_at(), which allow
for efficient searching of set or cleared bits starting from any bit offset
within the bit string.

Performance is improved by operating on longs instead of bytes and using
ffsl() for searches within a long. ffsl() is a compiler builtin in both
clang and gcc for most architectures, converting what was a brute force
while loop search into a couple of instructions.

All of the bitstring(3) API continues to be contained in the header file.
Some of the functions are large enough that perhaps they should be uninlined
and moved to a library, but that is beyond the scope of this commit.

sys/sys/bitstring.h:
Convert the majority of the existing bit string implementation from
macros to inline functions.

Properly protect the implementation from inadvertant macro expansion
when included in a user's program by prefixing all private
macros/functions and local variables with '_'.

Add bit_ffs_at() and bit_ffc_at(). Implement bit_ffs() and
bit_ffc() in terms of their "at" counterparts.

Provide a kernel implementation of bit_alloc(), making the full API
usable in the kernel.

Improve code documenation.

share/man/man3/bitstring.3:
Add pre-exisiting API bit_ffc() to the synopsis.

Document new APIs.

Document the initialization state of the bit strings
allocated/declared by bit_alloc() and bit_decl().

Correct documentation for bitstr_size(). The original code comments
indicate the size is in bytes, not "elements of bitstr_t". The new
implementation follows this lead. Only hastd assumed "elements"
rather than bytes and it has been corrected.

etc/mtree/BSD.tests.dist:
tests/sys/Makefile:
tests/sys/sys/Makefile:
tests/sys/sys/bitstring.c:
Add tests for all existing and new functionality.

include/bitstring.h
Include all headers needed by sys/bitstring.h

lib/libbluetooth/bluetooth.h:
usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol/le.c:
Include bitstring.h instead of sys/bitstring.h.

sbin/hastd/activemap.c:
Correct usage of bitstr_size().

sys/dev/xen/blkback/blkback.c
Use new bit_alloc.

sys/kern/subr_unit.c:
Remove hard-coded assumption that sizeof(bitstr_t) is 1. Get rid of
unrb.busy, which caches the number of bits set in unrb.map. When
INVARIANTS are disabled, nothing needs to know that information.
callapse_unr can be adapted to use bit_ffs and bit_ffc instead.
Eliminating unrb.busy saves memory, simplifies the code, and
provides a slight speedup when INVARIANTS are disabled.

sys/net/flowtable.c:
Use the new kernel implementation of bit-alloc, instead of hacking
the old libc-dependent macro.

sys/sys/param.h
Update __FreeBSD_version to indicate availability of new API
