[BGPCEP-188] Minimize usage of BitSet: create BitArray

Sun, 3 Mar 2019 11:50:23 +0000

Java BitSet is not applicable to use in protocols without using util methods. Create simplified BitArray class with these features:

backing array type byte[]
fixed size (set in constructor)
BIG_ENDIAN
set(index, Boolean value) -> includes null check
toByteBuf(buffer) - writes the same amount of bytes as its size, regardless of how the backing byte array is filled (might be empty)
toByte()
valueOf(byte) and valueOf(byteArray)
content is unsigned only
