Remove trailing zero words from Bitmapsets
Prior to this, Bitmapsets could contain trailing words which had no
members set. Many places in bitmapset.c had to loop over trailing words
to check for empty words. If we ensure we always remove these trailing
zero words then we can perform various optimizations such as fast
pathing bms_is_subset to return false when 'a' has more words than 'b'.
A similar optimization is possible in bms_equal. Both of these together
can yield quite significant performance increases in the query planner
when querying a partitioned table with around 100 or more partitions.
While we're at it, since the minimum number of words a Bitmapset can
contain is 1, we can make use of do/while loops instead of for loops
when looping over all words in a set. This means checking the loop
condition 1 less time, which for single-word sets cuts the loop
condition checks in half.
