Operator `>>` does arithmetic or logical shift, depending on rhs

[Syndamia]

Aim

Attempted to create a simple program which right-shifts a number.

The following main.nr:

fn main(a: i16) {
    println(a >> 3);
}

with Prover.toml:

a = "-769"

Results with an arithmetic >>, outputing -96.

However, the following main.nr:

fn main(a: i16, b: u8) {
    println(a >> b);
}

with Prover.toml:

a = "-769"
b = 3

Results with a logical >>, outputting 8095.

Expected Behavior

>> to act consistently on the same value

Bug

>> with a constant right hand-side behaves as an arithmetic shift, while with an input value rhs it behaves as a logical shift

To Reproduce

1. Create two Noir projects, for each pair of program and Prover.toml
2. Run them with nargo execute
3. Observe the different output
