using take and drop on wide NumericRanges causes IllegalArgumentException

[AminMal]

Reproduction steps

Given a wide NumericRange, say BigInt(0) until (BigInt(Int.MaxValue) + 1000), if you try to take some amount from the range, or drop some from it, it causes IllegalArgumentException. question on stackoverflow

Scala version: 3.x, 2.13.x

scala> val range = BigInt(0) until (BigInt(Int.MaxValue) + 1000)
val range: scala.collection.immutable.NumericRange.Exclusive[scala.math.BigInt] = NumericRange 0 until 2147484647

scala> range.take(2)
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: More than Int.MaxValue elements.

scala> range.drop(Int.MaxValue)
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: More than Int.MaxValue elements.

  ... 32 elided

Problem

The problem is the unexpected behavior of the range. It's the fact that you are able to create a wide range, but you can not take a small piece of it.

I've logged a related issue with NumericRangeIterator #13100

@AminMal does this look fixable by following the same approach you took?
