Basically, a clone of a `boost::dynamic_bitset` library with views and SIMD (AVX2/AVX512/NEON/SVE).

This library was written specifically for the Milvus project (https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus) and is a part of it (https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus/tree/master/internal/core/src/bitset) since version 2.4. 
Although, this library may be used as a general-purpose one. The version in this repo contains additional attributes like `[[likely]]` and may be used as a header-only library.

Tested on:
* Intel Xeon 4th Gen
* Intel i7-1250U laptop 
* AWS Graviton3 (SVE width 256)
* docker-qemu which emulates ARM (SVE width 512)

Clang seems to produce faster code for SIMD than GCC.
