lib: add weak clz/ctz functions

Some architectures need __c[lt]z[sd]i2() for __builtin_c[lt]z[ll] and
that causes a build failure.  They can be implemented using the
fls()/__ffs() and overridden by linking arch-specific versions may not
be implemented yet.

This is required by "lib: add lz4 compressor module".

C-Style Escape Sequences into byte codes.

The patch provides generic implementation of such approach. Test cases are
also included into the patch.
