Replace callers of dynahash.h's my_log() by equivalent in pg_bitutils.h

All the calls replaced by this commit use 4-byte integers for their
variables used in input of my_log2().  Hence, the limit against
too-large inputs does not really apply.  Thresholds are also applied, as
of:
- In nodeAgg.c, the number of partitions is limited by
HASHAGG_MAX_PARTITIONS.
- In nodeHash.c, ExecChooseHashTableSize() caps its maximum number of
buckets based on HashJoinTuple and palloc() allocation limit.
- In worker.c, the number of subxacts tracked by ApplySubXactData uses
uint32, making pg_ceil_log2_64() safe to use directly.

Several approaches have been discussed, like an integration with
thresholds in pg_bitutils.h, but it was found confusing.  This uses
Dean's idea, which gives a simpler result than what I came up with to be
able to remove dynahash.h.  dynahash.h will be removed in a follow-up
commit, removing some duplication with the ceil log2 routines.
