Use gcc __builtin_stdc_* builtins in stdbit.h if possible
The following patch uses the GCC 14 __builtin_stdc_* builtins in stdbit.h for the type-generic macros, so that when compiled with GCC 14 or later, it supports not just 8/16/32/64-bit unsigned integers, but also 128-bit (if target supports them) and unsigned _BitInt (any supported precision). And so that the macros don't expand arguments multiple times and can be evaluated in constant expressions. The new testcase is gcc's gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/builtin-stdc-bit-1.c adjusted to test stdbit.h and the type-generic macros in there instead of the builtins and adjusted to use glibc test framework rather than gcc style tests with __builtin_abort ().
