A rewrite of the animal-name to number converter functions. This is an attempt to get the program to work under 32-bit system (e.g. an armv7 device).
Also included some simple test, made before the change.
The issue was caused by ANIMAL_NAMES.len().pow(power), where power=6, overflows 32-bit integer to 0b10_0000_0000. Is this a bug in Rust? No idea. The old implementation can have issues when the number exceeds this limit.
This might also be faster (no benchs) - since we are having exactly 64 items, this can be optimized to bit-wise operations nicely by rust.
