Summary:
This is intended as the first commit toward a near-optimal alternative to static Bloom filters for SSTs. Stephan Walzer and I have agreed upon the name "Ribbon" for a PHSF based on his linear system construction in "Efficient Gauss Elimination for Near-Quadratic Matrices with One Short Random Block per Row, with Applications" ("SGauss") and my much faster "on the fly" algorithm for gaussian elimination (or for this linear system, "banding"), which can be faster than peeling while also more compact and flexible. See util/ribbon_alg.h for more detailed introduction and background. RIBBON = Rapid Incremental Boolean Banding ON-the-fly
This commit just adds generic (templatized) core algorithms and a basic unit test showing some features, including the ability to construct structures within 2.5% space overhead vs. information theoretic lower bound. (Compare to cache-local Bloom filter's ~50% space overhead -> ~30% reduction anticipated.) This commit does not include the storage scheme necessary to make queries fast, especially for filter queries, nor fractional "result bits", but there is some description already and those implementations will come soon. Nor does this commit add FilterPolicy support, for use in SST files, but that will also come soon.

Summary:
To minimize dependencies for Ribbon filter code in progress,
core part of coding.h for fixed sizes has been moved to coding_lean.h.
Also, generic versions of these functions have been added to math128.h
(since the generic versions are likely only to be used along with
Unsigned128).

Test Plan: Unit tests added for new functions

Summary:
These new functions and 128-bit value bit operations are
expected to be used in a forthcoming Bloom filter alternative.
No functional changes to production code, just new code only called by
unit tests, cosmetic changes to existing headers, and fix an existing
function for a yet-unused template instantiation (BitsSetToOne on
something signed and smaller than 32 bits).

Test Plan:
Unit tests included. Works with and without
TEST_UINT128_COMPAT=1 to check compatibility with and without
__uint128_t. Also added that parameter to the CircleCI build
build-linux-shared_lib-alt_namespace-status_checked.
