feature-request: flag to turn off bigint parsing

[jessekrubin]

It would be useful to have a flag that could turn bigint parsing on/off (if the feature is enabled).

I am not sure it should allow for all u64/i64/u128/i128 or if it should use the js safe range (-9007199254740991 ~ 9007199254740991)

Somewhere I have a PR draft of this, but I dont know where and on what machine.

Rather than disabling the parsing, perhaps a better alternative would be to just parse the numeric bytes as &str and let the user decide how to handle the text? I have a feeling this might be useful in pydantic-core by avoiding Rust big integers and going straight to Python.
