Fix pack/unpack checksum calculation for bit counts > 32
Fixed critical bug in Unpack.java where checksums with bit counts > 32 were incorrectly cast to int, causing value truncation to -1. The fix implements: - Use long for checksums with bit counts < 64 - Use BigInteger for checksums with bit counts >= 64, then cast to long - Proper bit masking for all checksum bit counts (1-65) - Correct handling of signed/unsigned values through Java's long wrapping Test results: - Before: 7,979/14,724 tests passing (54.2%) - After: 13,983/14,724 tests passing (95.0%) - Net improvement: +6,004 tests fixed (75% improvement!) This single fix resolves thousands of checksum test failures across multiple format types (c, C, s, S, i, I, l, L, etc.) with various bit counts. The pack.t test suite is now at 95% compliance.
