Returns the population count of 1's (i >= 0) or 0's (i < 0). The result is always non-negative.

Compatibility note: The R6RS analogue bitwise-bit-count applies bitwise-not to the population count before returning it if i is negative.

    (bit-count 0) =>  0
    (bit-count -1) =>  0
    (bit-count 7) =>  3
    (bit-count  13) =>  3 ;Two's-complement binary: ...0001101
    (bit-count -13) =>  2 ;Two's-complement binary: ...1110011
    (bit-count  30) =>  4 ;Two's-complement binary: ...0011110
    (bit-count -30) =>  4 ;Two's-complement binary: ...1100010
    (bit-count (expt 2 100)) =>  1
    (bit-count (- (expt 2 100))) =>  100
    (bit-count (- (1+ (expt 2 100)))) =>  1
