include: util: Add generic function to count bits set in a value

Adds a generic function that will count the number of bits set in
a value.

It uses POPCOUNT (e.g. __builtin_popcount for GCC) if available,
or else it will use Brian Kernighan’s Algorithm to count bits.

POPCOUNT will likely always support unsigned ints, but the function
was implemented to use it with uint8_t for the sake of simplicity
and compatibility with Brian Kernighan’s Algorithm.

A generic solution was chosen rather than a macro/function per
type (e.g. uint8_t, uint16_t, etc.) as that is easier to maintain
and also supports array types (e.g. counting the number of bits
in 128 or 256 octet arrays).
