[libc++] Optimize bitset::to_string (#128832)
This patch optimizes `bitset::to_string` by replacing the existing bit-by-bit processing with a more efficient
bit traversal strategy. Instead of checking each bit sequentially, we leverage `std::__countr_zero` to efficiently
locate the next set bit, skipping over consecutive zero bits. This greatly accelerates the conversion process,
especially for sparse `bitset`s where zero bits dominate. To ensure similar improvements for dense `bitset`s, we
exploit symmetry by inverting the bit pattern, allowing us to apply the same optimized traversal technique. Even
for uniformly distributed `bitset`s, the proposed approach offers measurable performance gains over the existing
implementation.

Benchmarks demonstrate substantial improvements, achieving up to 13.5x speedup for sparse `bitset`s with
`Pr(true bit) = 0.1`, 16.1x for dense `bitset`s with `Pr(true bit) = 0.9`, and 8.3x for uniformly distributed
`bitset`s with `Pr(true bit) = 0.5)`.

libc++ Documentation
====================

The libc++ documentation is written using the Sphinx documentation generator. It is
currently tested with Sphinx 1.1.3.

To build the documents into html configure libc++ with the following cmake options:

  * -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=ON
  * -DLIBCXX_INCLUDE_DOCS=ON

After configuring libc++ with these options the make rule `docs-libcxx-html`
should be available.

The documentation in this directory is published at https://libcxx.llvm.org. It is kept up-to-date
by a build bot: https://lab.llvm.org/buildbot/#/builders/publish-sphinx-docs. If you notice that the
documentation is not updating anymore, please contact one of the maintainers.
