datatype: add define for maximum number of bits and mask of datatype id
The id of concat datatypes is composed of the ids of the individual datatypes. Add a define for the number of bits for each datatype id and a mask. The number of bits is chosen as 6, allowing for 63 datatypes, or twice as much as we currently have. This allows for concatenations of 5 types using 32 bits. The value is statically chosen instead of basing it on the current numbers of datatypes since we don't want the maximum concatenation size to vary between versions, also new versions are supposed to be able to propery parse a ruleset generated by an older version.
