Extract the bitfield-defining part of the `register!` macro into an independent macro used to define bitfield types with bounds-checked accessors. Each field is represented as a `Bounded` of the appropriate bit width, ensuring field values are never silently truncated. Fields can optionally be converted to/from custom types, either fallibly or infallibly. Appropriate documentation is also added, and a MAINTAINERS entry created for the new module. Two minor fixups are also applied: the private accessors are inlined, and a couple of missing fully qualified types in the macro are fixed.
