documentation: kernel-api: add more info on bitmap functions

There are some good comments about bitmap operations in lib/bitmap.c
and include/linux/bitmap.h, so format them for document generation and
pull them into core-api/kernel-api.rst.

I converted the "tables" of functions from using tabs to using spaces
so that they are more readable in the source file and in the generated
output.

+ * DOC: bitmap overview

  * The available bitmap operations and their rough meaning in the
  * case that the bitmap is a single unsigned long are thus:
  *
  * Note that nbits should be always a compile time evaluable constant.
  * Otherwise many inlines will generate horrible code.
