Jakub Jelinek c62b6265a6 manual: Fix up stdbit.texi
My recent change broke make pdf and in other documentation formats
results in weird rendering and invalid URL, all because of a forgotten
comma to separate @uref arguments.

@chapter Bit Manipulation
This chapter contains information about functions and macros for
determining the endianness of integer types and manipulating the bits
of unsigned integers. These functions and macros are from ISO C23 and
are declared in the header file @file{stdbit.h}.
The following macros describe the endianness of integer types. They
have values that are integer constant expressions.
@defmac __STDC_ENDIAN_LITTLE__
This macro represents little-endian storage.
@end defmac
@defmac __STDC_ENDIAN_BIG__
This macro represents big-endian storage.
@end defmac
@defmac __STDC_ENDIAN_NATIVE__
This macro equals @code{__STDC_ENDIAN_LITTLE__} if integer types are
stored in memory in little-endian format, and equals
@code{__STDC_ENDIAN_BIG__} if integer types are stored in memory in
big-endian format.
@end defmac
The following functions manipulate the bits of unsigned integers.
Each function family has functions for the types @code{unsigned char},
@code{unsigned short}, @code{unsigned int}, @code{unsigned long int}
and @code{unsigned long long int}. In addition, there is a
corresponding type-generic macro (not listed below), named the same as
the functions but without any suffix such as @samp{_uc}. The
type-generic macro can only be used with an argument of an unsigned
integer type with a width of 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits, or when using
a compiler with support for
@uref{https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Other-Builtins.html,@code{__builtin_stdc_bit_ceil}},
etc.@:, built-in functions such as GCC 14.1 or later
any unsigned integer type those built-in functions support.
In GCC 14.1 that includes support for @code{unsigned __int128} and
@code{unsigned _BitInt(@var{n})} if supported by the target.
