Niels Boehm df82adca43 Add function testing whether a bitmask is valid.
This one verifies bitmasks where low bits are set to 1 (hence the name).
Any stray 0 among the lower ones or any stray 1 among the higher zeros
renders the mask invalid.

The edge cases of all zeros and all ones are considered valid masks.

It uses an efficient implementation. It's the counterpart of
