    Make argument types in popcnt.c match declared primop types
    
    On 64-bit Mac OS, gcc 4.2 (which comes with Xcode 4.6) generates code
    that assumes that an argument that is smaller than the register
    it is passed in has been sign- or zero-extended. But ghc thinks
    the types of the PopCnt*Op primops are Word# -> Word#, so it passes
    the entire argument word to the hs_popcnt* function as though it was
    declared to have an argument of type StgWord. Segfaults ensue.
    
    The easiest fix is to sidestep all this zero-extension business
    by declaring the hs_popcnt* functions to take a whole StgWord (when their
    argument would fit in a register), thereby matching the list of primops.
    
    Fixes #7684.
