lib/bitmap: split-out string-related operations to a separate files

lib/bitmap.c and corresponding include/linux/bitmap.h are intended to
hold functions related to operations on bitmaps, like bitmap_shift or
bitmap_set. Historically, some string-related operations like
bitmap_parse are also reside in lib/bitmap.c.

Now that the subsystem evolves, string-related bitmap operations became a
significant part of the file. Because they are quite different from the
other bitmap functions by nature, it's worth to split them to a separate
source/header files.
