[PATCH 16/16] rev-list: Optimize --count using bitmaps too

If bitmap indexes are available, the process of counting reachable commits with `git rev-list --count` can be greatly sped up. Instead of having to use callbacks that yield each object in the revision list, we can build the reachable bitmap for the list and then use an efficient popcount to find the number of bits set in the bitmap.

This commit implements a `count_bitmap_commit_list` that can be used after `prepare_bitmap_walk` has returned successfully to return the number of commits, trees, blobs or tags that have been found to be reachable during the walk.

`git rev-list` is taught to use this function call when bitmaps are enabled instead of going through the old rev-list machinery. Do note, however, that counts with `left_right` and `cherry_mark` are not optimized by this patch.

Here are some sample timings of different ways to count commits in `torvalds/linux`:

	$ time ../git/git rev-list master | wc -l
	376549
	real    0m6.973s
	user    0m3.216s
	sys     0m5.316s
	$ time ../git/git rev-list --count master
	376549
	real    0m1.933s
	user    0m1.744s
	sys     0m0.188s
	$ time ../git/git rev-list --use-bitmaps --count master
	376549
	real    0m0.005s
	user    0m0.000s
	sys     0m0.004s
Note that the time in the `--use-bitmaps` invocation is basically noise.
In my machine it ranges from 2ms to 6ms.
