[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2] compat: Fix the fallback definition of stdc_trailing_zeros

While shifting "value" to left, we would iterate through all bits
of an unsigned long long, while we only expect to count through
"size * CHAR_BIT" bits; instead shift bits to the right and just
count the trailing zeros.

This fixes fate with MSVC.

Fixed the UB by shifting to the right instead of to the left.
