Allow alternative implementations of BigInt compatibility libraries
See original GitHub issueCurrently, the polyfill makes heavy use of the big-integer library to polyfill native BigInt. It would be preferable if this support library could be wrapped behind an interface and alternative implementations could be used instead.

I’ve spoken with the JSBI maintainers and they are onboard to review a migration of the JSBI source to TypeScript, which I’m undertaking now.
JSBI is designed to be transpiled to native BigInt calls via a Babel plugin which sounds good for code-size assuming that this isn’t already happening for
