Description
This issue is about adding support for words with sizes greater than 64 to the CakeML translator, where they would probably be translated to CakeML integers. See https://hol.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/486793-.F0.9F.8D.B0-CakeML/topic/Translating.20large.20words for some discussion. Also #1074 might be required for the word operations on these integers.

Research direction
Start with the linked Zulip discussion and issue #1074, which may be required for word operations on the translated integers. Trace the CakeML translator entry points for word values and define the expected behavior for sizes greater than 64; done means those words and their operations translate correctly.
