Simon Taylor 9c650e1d83 Improvements for bitmap.m, to make it useable as a general container

Estimated hours taken: 80
Branches: main

Improvements for bitmap.m, to make it useable as a general container
for binary data.

library/bitmap.m:
runtime/mercury_bitmap.c:
runtime/mercury_bitmap.h:
	Specialize the representation of bitmaps to an array of unsigned
	bytes defined as a foreign type.

	This is better than building on top of array(int) because it:
	- is better for interfacing with foreign code
	- has a more sensible machine-independent comparison order
	  (same as array(bool))
	- avoids storing the size twice
	- has more efficient copying, unification, comparison and tabling
	  (although we should probably specialize the handling of array(int)
	  and isomorphic types as well)
	- uses GC_MALLOC_ATOMIC to avoid problems with bit patterns that look
	  like pointers (although we should do that for array(int) as well)

	XXX The code for the Java and IL backends is untested.
	Building the library in grade Java with Sun JDK 1.6 failed (but
	at least passed error checking), and I don't have access to a
	copy of MSVS.NET.  The foreign code that needs to be tested is
	trivial.

	Add fields `bit', `bits' and `byte' to get/set a single bit,
	multiple bits (from an int) or an 8 bit byte.

	Add functions for converting bitmaps to hex strings and back,
	for use by stream.string_writer.write and deconstruct.functor/4.

	bitmap.intersect was buggy in the case where the input bitmaps
	had a different size.  Given that bitmaps are implemented with
	a fixed domain (lookups out of range throw an exception), it
	makes more sense to throw an exception in that case anyway,
	so all of the set operations do that now.

	The difference operation actually performed xor.  Fix it and
	add an xor function.

library/version_bitmap.m:
	This hasn't been fully updated to be the same as bitmap.m.
	The payoff would be much less because foreign code can't
	really do anything with version_bitmaps.

	Add a `bit' field.

	Deprecate the `get/2' function in favour of the `bit' field.

	Fix the union, difference, intersection and xor functions
	as for bitmap.m.

	Fix comparison of version_arrays so that it uses the same
	method as array.m: compare size then elements in order.
	The old code found version_arrays to be equal if one was
	a suffix of the other.

library/char.m:
	Add predicates for converting between hex digits and integers.

library/io.m:
library/stream.string_writer.m:
library/term.m:
	Read and write bitmaps.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
runtime/mercury_mcpp.h:
runtime/mercury_table_type_body.h:
runtime/mercury_tabling_macros.h:

library/construct.m:
library/deconstruct.m
compiler/prog_type.m:
compiler/mlds_to_gcc.m:
compiler/rtti.m:
	Add a MR_TypeCtorRep for bitmaps, and handle it in the library
	and runtinme.

library/Mercury.options:
	Compile bitmap.m with `--no-warn-insts-without-matching-type'.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Bump MR_RTTI_VERSION.

NEWS:
	Document the changes.
