[PATCH v2 01/18] lib/parity: Add __builtin_parity() fallback implementations

Add generic C implementations of __paritysi2(), __paritydi2(), and
__parityti2() as fallback functions in lib/parity.c. These functions
compute the parity of a given integer using a bitwise approach and are
marked with __weak, allowing architecture-specific implementations to
override them.
This patch serves as preparation for using __builtin_parity() by
ensuring a fallback mechanism is available when the compiler does not
inline the __builtin_parity().
