[RFC PATCH v1 05/23] libcamera: base: cxx20: Add `has_single_bit()`

`has_single_bit()` checks if the given unsigned integer has a single
bit set, that is, whether the number is a power of two or not.

Not all requirements of the C++20 standard are implemented.

See https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/has_single_bit
