Add countbits 16-bit and 8-bit support (#6433) (#6897)

Change adds 16-bit and 8-bit support for countbits intrinsic. In
cases where a backend's native counbits lacks support, support
is emulated.

New tests are added for 16-bit and 8-bit support. Additional testing
added for 32-bit and minor updates made to 64-bit countbits.
