Axel Wagner a18294bb6a cmd/internal/obj/arm64, image/gif, runtime, sort: use math/bits to calculate log2
In several places the integer log2 is calculated using loops or similar
mechanisms. math/bits.Len* provide a simpler and more efficient
mechanisms for this.

Annoyingly, every usage has slightly different ideas of what "log2"
means and how non-positive inputs should be handled. I verified the
replacements in each case by comparing the result for inputs from 0
to 1<<16.
