I was wondering if there was a reason that you didn't implement this
by just changing pg_popcount32 and pg_popcount64 to be actual
functions rather than function pointers when TRY_POPCNT_FAST is not
defined? These functions would then just return
pg_popcountNN_slow(word);
This would save from having to change all the current callers of the
functions to use the macro instead. That might be nice for any
extensions which are using these functions.
