Updated /tmp/hacktricks_update_wzgc_pgt/repo/src/reversing/reversing-tools-basic-methods/satisfiability-modulo-theories-smt-z3.md.

What I changed:

• Kept the original Z3 intro/basic sections, but cleaned them into a more practical Python 3-oriented cheat sheet.
• Added a Reversing-Oriented Patterns section focused on:
  • modeling input as 8-bit BitVecs
  • reconstructing words with Concat/Extract
  • modeling memory with Array / Select / Store
  • using push()/pop() for branch triage
  • using Optimize() for more usable printable solutions
  • using String/Seq constraints for format-heavy serial checks
• Added an internal reference to the related Angr - Examples page to avoid duplicating full symbolic-execution content.
• Kept References as the last section and added 2 relevant modern references. ()
