opcodes: make use of __builtin_popcount when available
This commit provides a small performance improvement when starting up CGEN based disassemblers by making use of __builtin_popcount. The #if check used in this commit was copied from bfd/elf32-arm.c where __builtin_popcount is also used. I ran into this code while investigating some GDB tests that would occasionally timeout. One of the reason these tests were having problems is that the m16c and m32c disassemblers take so long to initialise themselves. Speeding up count_decodable_bits helps, but is not a total solution. Still, this felt like an easy win which added minimal extra complexity, so I figure its worth doing. opcodes/ChangeLog: * cgen-dis.c (count_decodable_bits): Use __builtin_popcount when available.
