Return the number of bits needed to represent the
absolute value of a long. For example, this returns 1 for 1 and -1, 2
for 2 and -2, and 2 for 3 and -3. It returns 0 for 0.
v must not be NULL, and must be a normalized long.
(size_t)-1 is returned and OverflowError set if the true result doesn't
fit in a size_t.
