Detailed Description

Target properties of _BitInt(N) type. _BitInt(N) is to be represented as series of abi_limb_mode CEIL (N, GET_MODE_PRECISION (abi_limb_mode)) limbs, ordered from least significant to most significant if !big_endian, otherwise from most significant to least significant. If extended is false, the bits above or equal to N are undefined when stored in a register or memory, otherwise they are zero or sign extended depending on if it is unsigned _BitInt(N) or _BitInt(N) / signed _BitInt(N). limb_mode is either the same as abi_limb_mode, or some narrower mode in which _BitInt lowering should actually perform operations in and what libgcc _BitInt helpers should use. E.g. abi_limb_mode could be TImode which is something some processor specific ABI would specify to use, but it would be desirable to handle it as an array of DImode instead for efficiency. Note, abi_limb_mode can be different from limb_mode only if big_endian matches WORDS_BIG_ENDIAN.
