A common operation in instruction decoding is to take a field
from an instruction that represents a signed integer in some
arbitrary number of bits, and sign extend it into a C signed
integer type for manipulation. Provide new functions sextract32()
and sextract64() which perform this operation; they are like
the existing extract32() and extract64() except that the field
is sign-extended into the returned result.

We had two copies of a ffs function for longs with subtly different
semantics and, for the one in bitops.h, a confusing name: the result
was off-by-one compared to the library function ffsl.
Unify the functions into one, and solve the name problem by calling
the 0-based functions "bitops_ctzl" and "bitops_ctol" respectively.
This also fixes the build on platforms with ffsl, including Mac OS X
and Windows.
