  Log Message:
  -----------
  Enhance documentation for `BN_mask_bits()`

Fixes #5537

Added a note that the error check for `BN_mask_bits()` depends
on the internal representation that depends on the platform's word size.
Included a reference to the `BN_num_bits()` function for precise bit checking.
