Bit Shift Operations for FixedString and String Data Types

Why it matters

This feature enables users to perform bit shift operations directly on FixedString and String types, expanding the range of binary manipulations possible within ClickHouse. It addresses the lack of native bit shift support for these data types, improving flexibility and efficiency in string-related binary processing tasks.

How to use it

Users can apply bit shift operations on FixedString and String columns using the existing bit shift operators (e.g., <<, >>) in their SQL queries just as they would with numeric types.
