The _bittest family and their 64-bit variants are declared unsafe but carry no # Safety section. This adds the missing sections.

_bittest and _bittest64 only read the addressed integer, so they require p to be valid for reads of one integer. The bittestand* variants also modify it, so they require validity for reads and writes. All of them require b to stay within the width of the pointed-to integer.

Doc-only change.
