Disclaimer: last few digits are wrong, so if you're going to use this program somewhere, make sure to throw away the last 10 or so digits

Brief description

This is my last day of calculating pi, so I put some effort on implementing multiple fast-converging series.
I implemented a small extension to the existing BigInt JavaScript feature to accomodate fraction arithmetics.
And for the arc-tangents I simply decomposed them into taylor-series and re-factored them as a sum
