libsepol: make ebitmap_cardinality() of linear complexity

As ebitmap_get_bit() complexity is linear in the size of the bitmap, the
complexity of ebitmap_cardinality() is quadratic. This can be optimized
by browsing the nodes of the bitmap directly in ebitmap_cardinality().

While at it, use built-in function __builtin_popcountll() to count the
ones in the 64-bit value n->map for each bitmap node. This seems better
suited than "count++". This seems to work on gcc and clang on x86,
x86_64, ARM and ARM64 but if it causes compatibility issues with some
compilers or architectures (or with older versions of gcc or clang),
the use of __builtin_popcountll() can be replaced by a C implementation
of a popcount algorithm.
