[PATCH] optimize hweight64 for x86_64

Based on patch from David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>, but
changed by AK.

Optimizes the 64-bit hamming weight for x86_64 processors assuming they
have fast multiplication.  Uses five fewer bitops than the generic
hweight64.  Benchmark on one EMT64 showed ~25% speedup with 2^24
consecutive calls.

Define a new ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER that can be set by other
architectures that can also multiply fast.
