This patch adds a possibility to use an external layout for bit fields.

The problem occurred while debugging a Windows application with PDB symbols. The structure was as follows:

  struct S {
    short a : 3;
    short : 8;
    short b : 5;
  }

The problem is that PDB doesn't have information about the unnamed bit field, so the field `b` was located just behind the field `a`. But PDB has a valid information about fields offsets, so we can use it to solve the problem.
