[PATCH v4 0/2] eal: provide leading and trailing zero bit count abstraction

[Tyler Retzlaff <roretzla@linux.microsoft.com>]

Move existing bit manipulation, log and npow functions from
rte_common.h to rte_bitops.h

Provide leading and trailing zero bit count functions to abstract away
compiler specific implementations.

Include basic unit test for new leading/trailing zero bit count functions.

v4:
  * combine unit test commit into function addition commit

v3:
  * rename to use 32/64 instead of l/ll suffixes
  * add new functions to rte_bitops.h instead of new header
  * move other bit functions from rte_common.h to rte_bitops.h

v2:
  * use unsigned int instead of unsigned (checkpatches)
  * match multiple include guard naming convention to rte_common.h
  * add explicit extern "C" linkage to rte_bitcount.h
    note: not really needed but checkpatches required
  * add missing space around '-'
