bits.c: Use faster look-up-table approach for osmo_revbytebits_{buf,u8}

Benchmarking has shown that a look-up table based approach is much
faster than the arithmetic approach we used so far.

This is from a Core i7-6600U:

10    bytes, 1     iterations: flip=379, revb=5491; revb = 1448 %
10    bytes, 10    iterations: flip=728, revb=1517; revb = 208 %
10    bytes, 100   iterations: flip=2952, revb=9305; revb = 315 %
10    bytes, 1000  iterations: flip=26305, revb=90953; revb = 345 %
100   bytes, 1     iterations: flip=468, revb=1093; revb = 233 %
100   bytes, 10    iterations: flip=2634, revb=7418; revb = 281 %
100   bytes, 100   iterations: flip=23666, revb=70718; revb = 298 %
100   bytes, 1000  iterations: flip=237595, revb=900555; revb = 379 %
1024  bytes, 1     iterations: flip=3417, revb=11454; revb = 335 %
1024  bytes, 10    iterations: flip=33579, revb=92353; revb = 275 %
1024  bytes, 100   iterations: flip=555399, revb=1196228; revb = 215 %
1024  bytes, 1000  iterations: flip=3478271, revb=9227966; revb = 265 %
1048576 bytes, 1     iterations: flip=10189583, revb=7022193; revb = 68 %
1048576 bytes, 10    iterations: flip=19693347, revb=54389925; revb = 276 %
1048576 bytes, 100   iterations: flip=151308243, revb=454293151; revb = 300 %
1048576 bytes, 1000  iterations: flip=1390338439, revb=4429862642; revb = 318 %

where 'revb' is the old arithmetic approach, and 'flip' the new
look-up-table approach. In our usual cases of 100..1024 bytes in a
single iteration, the old code takes 233..335% of the look-up table.

Benchmarks on an Atom E6xx also show improvements except in one
situation (a single iteration over one 1MB large buffer).
