Description

Currently, CRoaring supports "is a subset" queries:

https://github.com/RoaringBitmap/CRoaring/blob/master/include/roaring/roaring.h#L329

This should be added to roaring.

Research direction

Use the linked CRoaring roaring.h subset-query API as the behavioral reference, then inspect the Go roaring package entry points for existing bitmap comparison operations. The work is done when roaring exposes an equivalent subset query with behavior matching CRoaring and its behavior is verified against representative bitmap cases.
