Let round_capa for ID table not allocate excess capacity for power of 2 ints >= 4

Description

right now round_capa value is rounded up to the next power of 2

round_capa(4) -> returns 8
round_capa(8) -> returns 16
round_capa(16) -> returns 32

round_capa(5) -> returns 8
round_capa(9) -> returns 16
round_capa(17) -> returns 32
etc.

it seems wasteful to allocate the extra items capacity, so this PR changes that to

round_capa(4) -> returns 4
round_capa(8) -> returns 8
round_capa(16) -> returns 16

round_capa(5) -> returns 8
round_capa(9) -> returns 16
round_capa(17) -> returns 32
etc.

the main purpose is to reduce memory usage especially during boot

my patch also uses BUILTIN_CLZ macro instead of shifts that makes it slightly faster

here's a benchmark

require 'benchmark/ips'

Benchmark.ips do |x|
  x.config(time: 20, warmup: 3)

  x.report('struct', "Struct.new(*('a'..'z').map { |x| x.to_sym })")
end
