bitrotate

How about a bitrotate module? I needed bitrotate functions in a project, and noticed that arctwo in gnulib also included definitions. This patch adds a new module bitrotate and makes arctwo use it. If anyone has ideas on better names (currently rotl16, rotr16 etc) or header filename (currently b
