Description
The NonZeroU16 type we use to specify QVM trials has a max of 65,535. However, the QVM seems to use a standard Common Lisp integer which imposes no upper limit on an integer. We should use a larger NonZeroUXX type so it's possible to specify more trials.

Research direction
Start by locating the QVM trial parameter and its use of NonZeroU16 in the Rust SDK. Check the QVM request or entry point that carries this value, then verify that trial counts above 65,535 can be represented and accepted without weakening the nonzero requirement.
