*
* \brief Bitstring manipulation functions.
*
* A bitstring is a packed array of bits, stored in a contiguous
* sequence of octets. The "most significant bit" (msb) of a bitstring
* is the high bit of the first octet. The "least significant bit" of a
* bitstring is the low bit of the last octet.
*
* Two bit numbering schemes are supported, "msb0" and "lsb0".
*
* In the "msb0" scheme, bit number 0 designates the most significant bit,
* and any padding bits required to make the bitstring a multiple of 8 bits
* long are added to the least significant end of the last octet.
*
* In the "lsb0" scheme, bit number 0 designates the least significant bit,
* and any padding bits required to make the bitstring a multiple of 8 bits
* long are added to the most significant end of the first octet.
*
* E.g., consider the bitstring "11010001111". This bitstring is 11 bits
* long and will take two octets. Let "p" denote a pad bit. In the msb0
* encoding, it would be
*
* \verbatim
* Octet 0 Octet 1
* |
* 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 | 1 1 1 p p p p p
* ^ | ^
* | |
* bit 0 bit 15
* \endverbatim
*
* In the lsb0 encoding, it would be
*
* \verbatim
* Octet 0 Octet 1
* |
* p p p p p 1 1 0 | 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
* ^ | ^
* | |
* bit 15 bit 0
* \endverbatim
