We need an accurate count of the number of bits set in a bitmap
after a merge. In particular, since the merge operation short-circuits
a merge from an empty source, if you have bitmaps A, B, and C where
B started empty, then merge C into B, and B into A, an inaccurate
count meant that A did not get the contents of C.

In the worst case, we may falsely regard the bitmap as empty when
it has had new writes merged into it.

      hbitmap: fix missing restore count when finish deserialization

      The .count of HBitmap is forgot to set in function
      hbitmap_deserialize_finish, let's set it to the right value.


   - I always forget to update this field.. We definitely should add some
generic check on it somewhere, at least in tests.

My suggestion (in another thread) was to enhance x-debug-block-dirty-bitmap-sha256 to include 'count' alongside the checksum, to make it easier to write such tests.
