fix(re-triton): solve_constraint — z3.BitVec str-first call form

After `import triton`, the Quarkslab Triton .so loads C++ bindings
that corrupt z3's internal ctypes state in a way that makes
`z3.BitVec(int, str)` (int-first) fail with:

  ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 2: TypeError: wrong type

The first call returns a half-initialized BitVecSort; subsequent
calls hit Z3_mk_bv_sort with a corrupted argument. The
str-first form `z3.BitVec(name, bits)` takes a different
ctypes path internally and is unaffected.

Switch solve_constraint to use the str-first form. Resolves
test_solve_constraint_z3_sat (the only remaining T1.4
regression from the 2026-06-05 gap analysis).

Also: pin kaitaistruct>=0.11 in install.sh (B5 — the kaitai
compiler at 0.11 generates 0.11-API code; 0.10 cannot import it).

``z3.BitVec(name, bits)`` and ``z3.BitVec(bits, name, ctx)``.

z3's internal ctypes state in a way that makes the
int-first form's ``Z3_mk_bv_sort`` C call fail with
``argument 2: wrong type``. The str-first form takes a
different ctypes path internally and is unaffected.
