RFR: 8327093: Add slice function to BitMap API [v2]

[Matias Saavedra Silva]

> The BitMap does not currently have a "slice" method which can return a subset of the bitmap defined by a start and end bit. This utility can be used to analyze portions of a bitmap or to overwrite the existing map with a shorter, modified map. 
> 
> This implementation has two core methods: 
> `copy_of_range` allocates and returns a new word array as used internally by BitMap
> `truncate` overwrites the internal array with the one generated by `copy_of_range` so none of the internal workings are exposed to callers outside of BitMap.
> 
> This change is verified with an included test.
