+Rry to reduce bit-vector sizes using inequalities.

+### Long Description
+
+Reduce the number of bits used to encode constants, by using signed bounds.
+Example: suppose $x$ is a bit-vector of size 8, and we have
+signed bounds for $x$ such that:
+
+```
+        -2 <= x <= 2
+```
+
+Then, $x$ can be replaced by  `((sign-extend 5) k)`
+where `k` is a fresh bit-vector constant of size 3.
+
+### Example
+
+```z3
+(declare-const x (_ BitVec 32))
+(assert (bvsle (bvneg (_ bv2 32)) x))
+(assert (bvsle x (_ bv2 32)))
+(assert (= (bvmul x x) (_ bv9 32)))
+(apply (and-then simplify reduce-bv-size))
