Add method to BitArray for converting to bit array

[kevinsung]

What should we add?

I.e., a Numpy array of bools. Recipe courtesy of @ihincks:

np.unpackbits(bit_array.array, axis=-1)[...,-bit_array.num_bits:]

@kevinsung Could you elaborate on this one a little more, I am interested in implementing it.

BitArray has from_bool_array function so is the intent of this feature request to create a corresponding to_bool_array?

[ihincks]

@mohitd yes, exactly. It is not a difficult implementation, see the original post, but it is inconvenient to remember about unpack bits and the convention of which side of the array needs to have the padding discarded, etc.

Hi @jakelishman, I can add this if nobody is taking a look, could you assign me please?

[mohitd]

@ihincks Makes sense.

@amiigas All yours :) I have some available time coming up so let me know if you'll pick this up

@mohitd Thanks, I will!
