⚡️ 0. Cleared invalid return type from Slice.skipBits()

If you've previously tried to assign it's results somewhere, it failed with an unwieldy FunC error. But now, the return type is cleared, so one more unreadable error got out of the way!

If you need its return value for some reason, take a look at Slice.preloadBits()

⚡️ 1. Added bitwise NOT ~ operator

// Let's flip some bits! (~˘▾˘)~
let nice: Int = ~~~~42 + ~~~~27;

// ~(˘▾˘~)
dump(nice);

⚡️ 2. Added &=, |= and ^= operators

They combine operations (&, |, ^) with an assignment, so that you can move from this:

a = a & 01000101; // bitwise AND
b = b | 01000101; // bitwise OR
c = c ^ 01000101; // bitwise XOR

To this:

a &= 01000101;
b |= 01000101;
c ^= 01000101;
