lib/find_bit: optimize find_next_bit() functions

Over the past couple years, the function _find_next_bit() was extended
with parameters that modify its behavior to implement and- zero- and le-
flavors. The parameters are passed at compile time, but current design
prevents a compiler from optimizing out the conditionals.

As find_next_bit() API grows, I expect that more parameters will be added.
Current design would require more conditional code in _find_next_bit(),
which would bloat the helper even more and make it barely readable.

This patch replaces _find_next_bit() with a macro FIND_NEXT_BIT, and adds
a set of wrappers, so that the compile-time optimizations become possible.

The common logic is moved to the new macro, and all flavors may be
generated by providing a FETCH macro parameter, like in this example:

  #define FIND_NEXT_BIT(FETCH, MUNGE, size, start) ...

  find_next_xornot_and_bit(addr1, addr2, addr3, size, start)
  {
	return FIND_NEXT_BIT(addr1[idx] ^ ~addr2[idx] & addr3[idx],
				/* nop */, size, start);
  }

The FETCH may be of any complexity, as soon as it only refers the bitmap(s)
and an iterator idx.

MUNGE is here to support _le code generation for BE builds. May be
empty.

I ran find_bit_benchmark 16 times on top of 6.0-rc2 and 16 times on top
of 6.0-rc2 + this series. The results for kvm/x86_64 are:

Where the statistics is significant (z-score > 3), the improvement
is ~15%.
