pgsql: Add bit_count SQL function

Add bit_count SQL function

This function for bit and bytea counts the set bits in the bit or byte
string.  Internally, we use the existing popcount functionality.

For the name, after some discussion, we settled on bit_count, which
also exists with this meaning in MySQL, Java, and Python.
