[🚀 Feature]: Taking advantage of batch 5 UPLC builtin functions once available (maybe Chang+1)

[mpetruska]

🚀 The feature and your motivation

The Cardano smart contract implementation contains plenty of bit operations that might be simplified/made less expensive once the batch 5 functions are available (see: https://plutus.cardano.intersectmbo.org/resources/plutus-core-spec.pdf section 4.3.5).
The following utility modules could (research needed) be optimized this way:

• cardano/lib/ibc/utils/bits.ak
• cardano/lib/ibc/utils/bytes.ak
• cardano/lib/ibc/utils/string.ak

Alternatives

No response

Additional context

Need to double check if the batch 5 functions will be deployed with Chang+1.
