Chapter 5 listing 5.4 ch5/ch5-bit-pattern.rs doesn't compile

[bgigous]

The listing defines variables like sixtyfivethousand_533, but references non existent variables sixty5_533 and so on.

$ rustc -O ch5-bit-patterns.rs

@bgigous FYI, there's a fix for this issue in PR #56:

https://github.com/rust-in-action/code/pull/56/files

which was submitted over a year ago, but still hasn't been merged. (I too just ran into this same issue.)

From the "ch5" directory on my machine I've just manually applied the PR fix with:

PS: Note that the code printed in the book (at least in the PDF version from November 2022) is also wrong, so appears the code got partially changed to make it more readable, and never tested again. cc @timClicks

PPS: ETA: The same fix is also in PR #80 (https://github.com/rust-in-action/code/pull/80/files), so that's at least 4 people who have run into this same issue with the "obvious typos" in the code in the repo.
