Use BigNumber instead of number type for amount

[shawnxie999]

For amount field, it has the number type which can support around 53 bit number. However, an issue currency amount has the maximum value of 9999999999999999 * 10^80, which is not a value that number can store. Explorer should change to a type(eg. BigNumber) that can store these large values. This would likely affect a lot of places in the repo, such as helper functions.
