Provide helpers to convert bitmaps to little endian format. It can be
used when we want to send one bitmap via network to some other hosts.
One thing to mention is that, these helpers only solve the problem of
endianess, but it does not solve the problem of different word size on
machines (the bitmaps managing same count of bits may contains different
size when malloced). So we need to take care of the size alignment issue
on the callers for now.

Clean up includes so that osdep.h is included first and headers
which it implies are not included manually.
This commit was created with scripts/clean-includes.
Backports commit aafd758410015e08b1aa8964d739ba8587ce58dc from qemu
The new bitmap_test_and_clear_atomic() function clears a range and
returns whether or not the bits were set.

Use atomic_or() for atomic bitmaps where several threads may set bits at
the same time. This avoids the race condition between threads loading
an element, bitwise ORing, and then storing the element.
When setting all bits in a word we can avoid atomic ops and instead just
use an smp_mb() at the end.
Most bitmap users don't need atomicity so introduce new functions.
