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.

Document Coercible in GHC.Types

It is not exported from here, but haddock still uses this documentation
(and not the one from the fake GHC/Prim.hs file). So just put the user
documentation here.

Add overlooked language extensions to `IntWord64.hs`

This was overseen in b07b88e5d5c3ccd1508b235688f751408636c49e
as the extensions are only needed when compiling for 32-bit archs.
