[PATCH] bitmap:improve memory usage using CHAR_BITS and unsigned CHAR

[Robert Mast]

Using char instead of int allows for simpler definitions of the
DOCIDSET macros so the code is easier to understand and consistent with
respect to memory-usage. Estimated reduction of memory-usage for
bitmap about 8 times.
