> This PR optimizes `BigInteger.pow(int)` method. The primary enhancement in `pow()` is not concerned most on execution time, but rather in memory optimization, because the PR implementation does the "shift of the exponent" squaring the result rather than the base, so the base is not squared like in the current implementation, and this permits to save about half of the memory.
