Using inline asm instead has the drawback that it leaves a little less
opportunity for the compiler to schedule this instructions optimally. No
idea if that matters in practice. Since it seems we don't really need
count_*_zeros to support zero input, is there any advantage in using
inline asm?

(Related, I wonder what the effect would be of redefining umul_ppmm as C
expressions involving __uint128_t on compilers that support that).
