feat: Modified count_set_bits.cpp (#1634)

* Modified: Replaced existing code with faster implementation

* Changed long long to "int64_t"

* Indentation Fixed.

* Modified Documentation.

* Updated authors of count_set_bits.cpp

Co-authored-by: David Leal <halfpacho@gmail.com>

* Apply suggestions from code review

Co-authored-by: David Leal <halfpacho@gmail.com>

* Added proper indentation in "main" function

*
* @details
* We are given an integer number. Lets say, number. The task is to first
* calculate the binary digit of a number and then calculate the total set bits
* of a number.
* We are given an integer number. We need to calculate the number of set bits in it.
*
* Set bits in a binary number is represented by 1. Whenever we calculate the
* binary number of an integer value it is formed as the combination of 0s and
* 1s. So digit 1 is known as a set bit in computer terms.
* Time Complexity: O(log n)
* A binary number consists of two digits. They are 0 & 1. Digit 1 is known as
* set bit in computer terms.
* Worst Case Time Complexity: O(log n)
* Space complexity: O(1)
