Failing macOS unittest - pow corner case(s)

[pzrq]

Expected Behavior

# Expected - Python 3.7.3
>>> print(pow(0.7071067811865476+0.7071067811865475j, 18446744073709551616))
(0.5092909260061389+0.8605944182295221j)

Current Behavior

# Batavia (testserver demo - copy/paste and run)
print(pow(0.7071067811865476+0.7071067811865475j, 18446744073709551616))
(0.7531061966369503+0.6578989714135652j)

Steps to reproduce

1. At a terminal, the test which inspired my issue:

(venv) pzrq@mozzie:~/Projects/beeware/batavia$ python setup.py test -s tests.builtins.test_pow.BuiltinTwoargPowFunctionTests.test_complex_int

I may have the expected/actual backwards (or at least needs more data), in an Ubuntu VM:

The bug looks to be here:

https://github.com/beeware/batavia/blob/master/batavia/types/Complex.js#L364

If the exponent is larger than 100, we cast it to a JavaScript 52-bit Number, so we lose the lower-order bits.

Instead we should just do the exponentiation ourselves.
