ENH: Adding `scalar.bit_count()` (popcount) (#19355)
Adding bitcount method to scalars, e.g.: a = np.int32(1023).bit_count() * ENH: Implementation of bit_count (popcount) * ENH: Add bit_count to integer scalar type * ENH: Annotations for bit_count * ENH, WIP: Documentation for bit_count * DOC: Added `bit_count` (#19355) * BUG: Fixed windows 32 bit issue with no `__popcnt64` * DOC: Refined docstring for bit_count * TST: Tests for bit_count * ENH, MAINT: Changed return type to uint_8 | Removed extra braces and fixed typo * BUG: Fixed syntax of bit_count * DOC, BUG: Fixed bit_count example * DOC, BUG: (#19355) Removed bit_count from routines.math.rst | Improved release notes * BUG: Added type suffix to magic constants * ENH: Handle 32 bit windows popcount | Refactored popcount implementation to new function * MAINT: Refactor type_methods, separate integer definitions * DOC: Added double-ticks

+``bit_count`` to compute the number of 1-bits in an integer
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+Computes the number of 1-bits in the absolute value of the input.
+This works on all the numpy integer types. Analogous to the builtin
+``int.bit_count`` or ``popcount`` in C++.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ >>> np.uint32(1023).bit_count()
+ 10
+ >>> np.int32(-127).bit_count()
+ 7
