base: Add a static assert to check bit union ranges
If a bit field in a bit union specified as Bitfield<LSB, MSB> instead
of Bitfield<MSB, LSB> the code silently fails and the field is read as
zero. This changeset introduces a static assert that tests, at compile
time, that the bit order is correct.
