Describe your change:
I changed the implementation of is_prime functions inside project_euler in order to have a unified implementation. There are some cases where the solution uses the Eratosthenes' sieve method. In some cases there is no specific gain from using that method so I changed it to the O(sqrt(n)) algorithm, but in other cases the sieve method is used in the core structure of the solution, hence I did not touch those.
