[PATCH v1 3/3] tools: add API to work with sevaral bits at once

[Olaf Hering <olaf@aepfle.de>]

Introduce new API to test if a fixed number of bits is clear or set,
and clear or set them all at once.

The caller has to make sure the input bitnumber is a multiply of BITS_PER_LONG.

This API avoids the loop over each bit in a known range just to see
if all of them are either clear or set.
