Allow count to count more than just bits. #305

Closed scott-griffiths closed 3 weeks ago

So instead of just counting how many zeros or ones, allow bs.count(x) which is roughly equivalent to len(bs.findall(x)).

There is now a count in bitarray that can be efficiently used. It probably makes sense to allow a bytealigned parameter too.

I'm not sure this is really a useful addition, so closing.
