Encode a positive BigInt as a CompactUint (Satoshi's variable-length,
positive integer format).
Note: the maximum value of a CompactUint is 0xffff_ffff_ffff_ffff
(18446744073709551615). This method will return an incorrect result for
values outside of the range 0 to 0xffff_ffff_ffff_ffff. If applicable,
applications should handle such cases prior to calling this method.
