pack-bitmap: do not use gcc packed attribute
The "__attribute__" flag may be a noop on some compilers.
That's OK as long as the code is correct without the
attribute, but in this case it is not. We would typically
end up with a struct that is 2 bytes too long due to struct
padding, breaking both reading and writing of bitmaps.
Instead of marshalling the data in a struct, let's just
provide helpers for reading and writing the appropriate
types. Besides being correct on all platforms, the result is
more efficient and simpler to read.
