RFR: 8257985: count_trailing_zeros doesn't handle 64-bit values on 32-bit JVM [v8]

> Re-implement count_trailing_zeros as a template function similar to count_leading_zeros, adding support for 8 and 16 bit types as well as for 64-bit types on 32-bit builds, which is currently not supported. This prohibits implementing the log2i_exact proposed by #1663 using count_trailing_zeros, as suggested during review.
> 
> Compared to count_leading_zeros the implementation can be slightly simpler since subword specializations can simply use the internal 32-bit variant.
> 
> Windows doesn't define _BitScanForward64 on 32-bit targets, so the 32-bit variant for handling 64-bit values becomes more convoluted.
