As expected, this change produces a build failure of the 'hamt' module:
../../gllib/hamt.c:26:10: fatal error: count-one-bits.h: No such file or
directory
26 | #include "count-one-bits.h"
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And the 'stdbit' module with all its functions is overkill, when only one
function is needed.
This patch fixes both issues.

count-*: Fix module status (regression yesterday).
* modules/count-leading-zeros: Mark as deprecated, not obsolete.
Recommend module 'stdc_leading_zeros' instead of 'stdbit'.
* modules/count-trailing-zeros: Mark as deprecated, not obsolete.
Recommend module 'stdc_trailing_zeros' instead of 'stdbit'.
* modules/count-one-bits: Mark as deprecated, not obsolete. Recommend
module 'stdc_count_ones' instead of 'stdbit'.
* NEWS: Update.
