Description
Currently the tests fail when BIGINT is enabled:
https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen/actions/runs/12406958589/job/34636211812?pr=7161
Emscripten enables WASM_BIGINT by default now and the feature is very widely supported, so if there is a benefit to enabling it, then we should fix the Binaryen bindings.

Research direction
Start with the linked GitHub Actions failure and inspect the Binaryen Emscripten bindings and the tests that fail when WASM_BIGINT is enabled. Determine the expected binding behavior and whether enabling the feature provides a benefit. Done means the affected tests pass with Emscripten's default WASM_BIGINT setting.
