Currently, the bitmap code uses half of the hinting data gathered and cached and wastes the other half. We'll skip completely full bitmaps, but start scanning in bitmaps at locations where if we consulted the zero bit hint, we'd know there aren't any free bits available. This patch uses the first zero hint to bump the beginning of the search window to where we know there is at least one zero bit.
