Support BigUint plaintext moduli in BFV

- Added `PlaintextModulus` enum to `BfvParameters` to support both `Small` (u64) and `Large` (BigUint) moduli.
- Updated `Plaintext` to store values in `PlaintextValues` enum (`Small` or `Large`).
- Updated `PlaintextVec` encoders/decoders to handle both variants.
- Updated `SecretKey` decryption to correctly lift RNS residues to `BigUint` for large moduli.
- Added `default_biguint_arc` helper in `BfvParameters` for testing.
- Added comprehensive unit tests in `crates/fhe/src/bfv/tests_biguint.rs` covering encryption, decryption, homomorphic addition, and multiplication (with/without relin).
- Removed `num-integer` dependency and cleaned up code.
- Fixed encoding logic to reduce `BigUint` inputs modulo `Small` plaintext moduli.
- Updated `fhe.proto` to include optional `plaintext_big` field.
