WP 34S and 31S bugs and fixes

[Paul Dale]

Cryptography is the main use for large sized numbers that I know of.

The 34S's binary integers would be ill suited in this role -- they are intended for computer programmers not number theorists or cryptographers. The algorithms used don't scale and the carry/overflow support is quite a burden. The different formats could also become a burden as the size increases.
