bits: introduce fixed-type GENMASK_U*()

Add GENMASK_TYPE() which generalizes __GENMASK() to support different
types, and implement fixed-types versions of GENMASK() based on it.
The fixed-type version allows more strict checks to the min/max values
accepted, which is useful for defining registers like implemented by
i915 and xe drivers with their REG_GENMASK*() macros.

The strict checks rely on shift-count-overflow compiler check to fail
the build if a number outside of the range allowed is passed.
Example:

  #define FOO_MASK GENMASK_U32(33, 4)

will generate a warning like:

  include/linux/bits.h:51:27: error: right shift count >= width of type [-Werror=shift-count-overflow]
     51 |               type_max(t) >> (BITS_PER_TYPE(t) - 1 - (h)))))
        |                           ^~

The result is casted to the corresponding fixed width type. For
example, GENMASK_U8() returns an u8. Note that because of the C
promotion rules, GENMASK_U8() and GENMASK_U16() will immediately be
promoted to int if used in an expression. Regardless, the main goal is
not to get the correct type, but rather to enforce more checks at
compile time.

While GENMASK_TYPE() is crafted to cover all variants, including the
already existing GENMASK(), GENMASK_ULL() and GENMASK_U128(), for the
moment, only use it for the newly introduced GENMASK_U*(). The
consolidation will be done in a separate change.
