Next Higher Number with Same Number of Set Bits

/**
 * @file
 * @brief [Next higher number with same number of set bits]
 * (https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/next-higher-number-with-same-number-of-set-bits/)
 * implementation
 *
 * @details
 * Given a number x, find next number with same number of 1 bits in it’s binary
 * representation. For example, consider x = 12, whose binary representation is
 * 1100 (excluding leading zeros on 32 bit machine). It contains two logic 1
 * bits. The next higher number with two logic 1 bits is 17 (100012).
 *
 * A binary number consists of two digits. They are 0 & 1. Digit 1 is known as
 * set bit in computer terms.
