Computes the difference of this bag with another bag. The difference of these two bags
is all items that appear in this bag, but not in otherBag. If an item appears X times in this bag,
and Y times in the other bag, the difference contains the item X - Y times (zero times if Y >= X). A new bag is
created with the difference of the bags and is returned. This bag and the other bag
are unchanged.
