Generate code for bit fields inside a struct/class body
Parameters:

Returns:
D code with a bit fields variable and getter / setter functions
Examples:
static struct B
{
    bool x;
    bool y;
    bool z = 1;
}

static struct S
{
    mixin(generateBitFields!(B, ubyte));
}

S s;
assert(!s.x);
s.x = true;
assert(s.x);
s.x = false;
assert(!s.x);

s.y = true;
assert(s.y);
assert(!s.x);
