Description
Restore the changes from #1446 that were reverted in #1449 .
Also add an attribute to the python module to assert 64-bit support.
My plan is to then make pyket-phir check for this flag to decide how to convert circuits to PHIR; then make a pytket-quantinuum release depending on that new version of PHIR; then make a pytket release with this change. I think this should avoid the problems encountered with 64-bit support in the local emulator.
