__bf_shf() is currently based on built-in ffsll. It's more
straightforward to wire it to __builtin_ctzll, which makes it a pure
rename.

Worth to notice that __builtin_ffsll() is buggy on GCC before 14.1:

  int main() {
      sizeof(struct {
          int t : !(__builtin_ffsll(~0ULL) + 1 < 0);
      });
  }

  test.c: In function 'main':
  test.c:3:21: error: bit-field 't' width not an integer constant
      3 |                 int t : !(__builtin_ffsll(~0ULL) + 1 < 0);
        |                     ^

I'd leave in the (x).
