Add Power of Four Check using bit manipulation (#7065)

* Add Power of Four Check using bit manipulation

- Implements isPowerOfFour method using bit manipulation
- Checks if number is power of two and has bit at even position
- Includes comprehensive unit tests
- Fixes #6940

* Fix code formatting in PowerOfFourTest

* Move PowerOfFour classes to maths package

* Fix package declaration in PowerOfFourTest

* Fix code formatting in PowerOfFourTest

* Remove redundant import from PowerOfFourTest

* Remove unrelated file

* Utility class for checking if a number is a power of four.
* A power of four is a number that can be expressed as 4^n where n is a non-negative integer.
* This class provides a method to determine if a given integer is a power of four using bit manipulation.

/**
* Checks if the given integer is a power of four.
*
* A number is considered a power of four if:
* 1. It is greater than zero
* 2. It has exactly one '1' bit in its binary representation (power of two)
* 3. The '1' bit is at an even position (0, 2, 4, 6, ...)
*
* The method uses the mask 0x55555555 (binary: 01010101010101010101010101010101)
* to check if the set bit is at an even position.
*
* @param number the integer to check
* @return true if the number is a power of four, false otherwise
