sway Rename U128.as_64 to try_as_u64 and deprecate the old function

The function name is inconsistent with other downcasts, it needs to be updated to try_as_u64, and the old function needs to be deprecated and then later removed.

Hello, this serves my intentions to take on the task of renaming U128.as_64 to try_as_u64 and deprecating the old function. This change will align the function name with other downcasts, making our codebase more consistent and easier to understand.

I'll ensure that the deprecation process is handled smoothly, updating any internal usages and providing clear guidance for external users to transition to the new function.
