@feliam is it fine to return the length of a BitVec in bytes?

idk. It is a bit vector.
pyZ3 does not use len but rather a bv.size()
We should carefully check that it is not used for bits anywhere.

@ehennenfent any context why do we need to add this in the first place?

Pretty sure the original reason was to allow this assert to pass when using a memory model that returns a BitVec.

We need a way to read the size of a bitvec. Maybe using _len is not the best way.
We already have .size
Are we sure we'll never support a 4 bit bitvec?
It may be better if we remove it (__len__).

We've since found a way to make the symbolic memory model work without this workaround, so if you think it's better to delete than risk setting ourselves up for failure later, that's fine with me.

For context, this prevents an issue on line 591, where Python doesn't like evaluating if 'FLAGS' in name: if name is not a string. I don't remember how I triggered it, but since the name should already be a string in most reasonable cases, I don't think this will break any functionality.

Handles edge cases that sometimes occur with symbolic memory models. Nothing major, just merging so we can delete the branch.
