3f67e692860d281858485d48a4f1f81b907f1444 15-Jan-2016 Aart Bik <ajcbik@google.com> Implemented BitCount as an intrinsic. With unit test.

Rationale:
Recognizing this important operation as an intrinsic has
various advantages:
(1) having the no-side-effects/no-throw allows for
much more GVN/LICM/BCE.
(2) Some architectures, like x86_64, provide direct
support for this operation.

Performance improvements on X86_64:
CheckersEvalBench (32-bit bitboard): 27,210KNS -> 36,798KNS = + 35%
ReversiEvalBench (64-bit bitboard): 52,562KNS -> 89,086KNS = + 69%

This reverts commit 0da3b9117706760e8722029f407da6d0297cc943.

Fix a compilation failure that slipped in somehow.

This reverts commit 7b3e4f99b25c31048a33a08688557b133ad345ab.

Reason: build error on sdk (linux) in git_mirror-aosp-master-with-vendor , please fix first

Java semantics for memory ordering can be satisfied using
lock addl $0,0(SP)
rather than mfence. The locked add synchronizes the memory caches, but
doesn't affect device memory.

Timing on a micro benchmark with a mfence or lock add $0,0(sp) in a loop
with 600000000 iterations:
time ./mfence
real 0m5.411s
user 0m5.408s
sys 0m0.000s

time ./locked_add
real 0m3.552s
user 0m3.550s
sys 0m0.000s

Implement this as an instruction-set-feature lock_add. This is off by
default (uses mfence), and enabled for atom & silvermont variants.
Generation of mfence can be forced by a parameter to MemoryFence.

Also, refactor how feature strings are handled so they are additive or
subtractive.
Make MIPS have features for FPU 32-bit and MIPS v2. Use in the quick compiler
rather than #ifdefs that wouldn't have worked in cross-compilation.
