Optimize popcount functions with ARM Neon intrinsics.
This commit introduces Neon implementations of pg_popcount{32,64},
pg_popcount(), and pg_popcount_masked(). As in simd.h, we assume
that all available AArch64 hardware supports Neon, so we don't need
any new configure-time or runtime checks. Some compilers already
emit Neon instructions for these functions, but our hand-rolled
implementations for pg_popcount() and pg_popcount_masked()
performed better in testing, likely due to better instruction-level
parallelism.
