Introduces a `BitField` data structure, enabling type-safe access to named bit fields within an integer-backed structure via the `CREATE_BITFIELD` macro. Enhances `BitArray` with `GetRange` and `SetRange` methods, crucial for efficient bit manipulation within `BitField`. Adds `std::bit_cast` and internal macro utilities to support the new bitfield implementation. Includes comprehensive tests.

Introduces a new `BitField` utility for defining and accessing bitfields with named, type-safe fields. Enhances `BitArray` with `GetRange` and `SetRange` methods to efficiently manipulate bit ranges, including boundary-crossing scenarios. These methods are fundamental for `BitField`'s internal storage. Adds `std::bit_cast` for safe reinterpretation of object representations, enabling `BitField` to convert to/from raw integer types. Includes new internal macros to support the `CREATE_BITFIELD` macro. Adds comprehensive tests for both `BitArray` range operations and the new `BitField` utility.
