Rather than using boolean logic, construct and compare two bit strings which represent the registers where a > b, and where b > a respectively. As well as simplifying the code, this removes 2 constraints where k=3 and 4 where k=4 for 256 bit big ints.

While I was exploring this library I noticed some simple improvements.
The main change is replacing the boolean logic in
BigLessThanwith bit manipulation, which removes 2 constraints if we're using 3 registers, and 4 if we're using 4.All relevant tests are passing, though I didn't run the whole suite for fear of overheating my laptop.
