Contributor guide

Research direction
Study existing TypedArray implementations in Rhino (e.g., Int32Array, Float64Array) to understand the pattern. Then implement BigInt64Array and BigUint64Array by creating new Java classes that extend or mimic the existing typed array structure. Also implement DataView methods getBigInt64 and getBigUint64 using similar logic from other get methods.
