Description

Similar to how we handle decimal, we could read and write these values as TEXT.

Research direction
Examine how decimal values are mapped to TEXT in Microsoft.Data.Sqlite. Look for the type handler or converter for decimal. Then extend that logic to support BigInteger, Int128, and UInt128, ensuring they are stored as TEXT. Review existing tests for decimal to understand the expected patterns and add similar tests.
