This PR adds a new
BitVec.popCountoperation and a corresponding circuit tobv_decide, allowing to bitblast the population count (popCount) operation. The AIG circuit is implemented according to Brian Kernighan'spopCountalgorithm in the bitblaster, to count the numbers of bits set in a bitvector (popCount).popCountis common in numerous compiler intrinsics (see here) and architectures (see here).
