Overhaul and overall improvement of GodotBigNumberClass

[TehAwesomestKitteh]

Summary of changes:

• Separated Big.gd and Big.gd4 into Godot 3.x/Big.gd and Godot 4.1.x/Big.gd (since .gd is the official script extension, not .gd4)
• Made both classes follow the GDScript Style Guide
• Fixed words, spelling, and English names
• Overhauled the 4.1.x class:
  • Added more methods to cover more operations (mainly the non-assignment operators, +, -, *, and /)
  • Added near-complete documentation of all the variables and methods
  • Improved overall readability of the class
  • Improved, shortened, or optimized various statements
  • Fixed (or suppressed) all warnings. No Project Settings modifying needed anymore
  • Operations no longer modify Big numbers by default (modification done by "Equals" assignment methods instead)
  • other is now options, and various options has had their defaults adjusted

toAA and the suffixes_aa have also been marked @deprecated, pending a re-write so that it's faster

I required this for my game and figured I should share it with someone who cares about the Big class!

This gets a random number between min and max.

static func get_random_point(min: Big, max: Big) -> Big:
    if min.isEqualTo(max):
        return max
    var random_mantissa = randf_range(min.mantissa, max.mantissa)
    var random_exponent = randi_range(min.exponent, max.exponent)
    return Big.new(random_mantissa, random_exponent)

Not related: maybe you should convert the method names to snake_case to fit in with Godot's style guide. But not important!

Cool addition, but I think that function can be improved. There will be no mantissa range if min and max have the same mantissa.

Wait, hang on! Your reply made me realize a problem: If you do get_random_point(Big.new(4), Big.new(40)), it can only be 4 or 40, because mantissa will not change but exponent can. I'll try to work on a solution

[Drillur]

Oh, hell, I currently can't get it to work. This is nightmarish. And I just know the solution will be so simple and easy that it'll make me mad. Good lord

static func get_random_point(min: Big, max: Big) -> Big:
    # Ensure min is less than or equal to max
    if min.greater(max):
        var temp = min
        min = max
        max = temp

    if min.exponent == max.exponent:
        return Big.new(randf_range(min.mantissa, max.mantissa), max.exponent)

    var new_exponent := randi_range(min.exponent, max.exponent)
    var new_mantissa: float
    if new_exponent == min.exponent:
        new_mantissa = randf_range(min.mantissa, 10.0)
    elif new_exponent == max.exponent:
        new_mantissa = randf_range(0, max.mantissa)
    else:
        new_mantissa = randf_range(1, 10)

    return Big.new(new_mantissa, new_exponent)

This is my latest version. When testing from 1 to 100, 36% of the numbers are less than 10.

I give up. This works for numbers less than e308:

static func get_random_point(min: Big, max: Big) -> Big:
    # Ensure min is less than or equal to max
    if min.greater(max):
        var temp = min
        min = max
        max = temp

    if min.exponent == max.exponent:
        return Big.new(randf_range(min.mantissa, max.mantissa), max.exponent)

    if min.less(1.79769e308) and max.less(1.79769e308):
        return Big.new(randf_range(min.toFloat(), max.toFloat()))
    else:
        print("Cry")
        return Big.new(1)
