include: introduce byte counting functions.
This patch adds the following three functions: bits_to_bytes(bits) - the number of bytes needed to hold 'bits' bytes_to_int32(bytes) - the number of 4-byte units to hold 'bytes' pad_to_int32(bytes) - the closest multiple of 4 equal to or larger than 'bytes'. All three operations are common in protocol processing and currently the server has ((foo + 7)/8 + 3)/4 operations all over the place. A common set of functions reduce the error rate of these (albeit simple) calculations and improve readability of the code. The functions do not check for overflow. v2: backport to nx-libs 3.6.x as a prereq for the CVE-2015-0255 fix (Mike DePaulo) Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>
