To convert CTLZ to popcount we do
x = x | (x >> 1);
x = x | (x >> 2);
...
x = x | (x >>16);
x = x | (x >>32); // for 64-bit input
return popcount(~x);
This smears the most significant set bit across all of the bits
below it then inverts the remaining 0s and does a population count.
To support non-power of 2 types, the last shift amount must be
more than half of the size of the type. For i15, the last shift
was previously a shift by 4, with this patch we add another shift
of 8.
Fixes PR56457.
