bitmapTransform
Replaces elements in a bitmap according to a mapping from from_array to to_array.
Values are interpreted as unsigned integers of the bitmap element type (same domain as bitmapContains).
For signed bitmaps, a negative element matches its unsigned counterpart (for example, Int8 value -1 matches 255).
A value in to_array that does not fit into the bitmap element type raises BAD_ARGUMENTS. A value in from_array
that does not fit is simply not found, so the corresponding replacement does not apply.
