Alvaro Herrera fc6c72747a Fix compiler builtin usage in new pg_bitutils.c
Split out these new functions in three parts: one in a new file that
uses the compiler builtin and gets compiled with the -mpopcnt compiler
option if it exists; another one that uses the compiler builtin but not
the compiler option; and finally the fallback with open-coded
algorithms.

Split out the configure logic: in the original commit, it was selecting
to use the -mpopcnt compiler switch together with deciding whether to
use the compiler builtin, but those two things are really separate.
Split them out.  Also, expose whether the builtin exists to
Makefile.global, so that src/port's Makefile can decide whether to
compile the hw-optimized file.

Remove CPUID test for CTZ/CLZ.  Make pg_{right,left}most_ones use either
the compiler intrinsic or open-coded algo; trying to use the
HW-optimized version is a waste of time.  Make them static inline
functions.

libpgport
=========

libpgport must have special behavior.  It supplies functions to both
libraries and applications.  However, there are two complexities:

1)  Libraries need to use object files that are compiled with exactly
the same flags as the library.  libpgport might not use the same flags,
so it is necessary to recompile the object files for individual
libraries.  This is done by removing -lpgport from the link line:

        # Need to recompile any libpgport object files
        LIBS := $(filter-out -lpgport, $(LIBS))

and adding infrastructure to recompile the object files:

        OBJS= execute.o typename.o descriptor.o data.o error.o prepare.o memory.o \
                connect.o misc.o path.o exec.o \
                $(filter strlcat.o, $(LIBOBJS))

The problem is that there is no testing of which object files need to be
added, but missing functions usually show up when linking user
applications.

2) For applications, we use -lpgport before -lpq, so the static files
from libpgport are linked first.  This avoids having applications
dependent on symbols that are _used_ by libpq, but not intended to be
exported by libpq.  libpq's libpgport usage changes over time, so such a
dependency is a problem.  Windows, Linux, and macOS use an export list to
control the symbols exported by libpq.
