I'd rather do that after a second look at the whole picture as this
led to an accumulation of bullet points.  The long->int64 switch was
looking OK on its own and I have applied it.

Attached is the second piece of refactoring, where I have introduced a
couple more APIs in pg_bitutils.h (cross-checked the resulting
computations of the old and new routines with some quick hacks, in
case, and they matched):
pg_nextpower2_32_bound, replacing next_pow2_int
pg_nextpower2_64_bound, replacing next_pow2_int64
pg_ceil_log2_64_bound, replacing my_log2()
pg_ceil_log2_32_bound, not used, present for symmetry.

An extra thing is a suggested change for pg_nextpower2_32(), to use a
uint64 instead of a uint32 as argument, which is caused by
next_pow2_int64() and next_pow2_int(), that both used int64
previously.

There's likely some opinion differences according to one's taste;
that's my idea of the refactoring to remove the duplication.
