Use `Stdint.Uint64` rather than `bignum` for block numbers #1018

The blockchain uses uint64_t to represent block numbers. Scilla should do the same.

This also raises the question of, should builtin badd check for overflows. The return type of bsub is Int256, that needs some fix too. So we'll postpone this issue / decision to v1 of Scilla.
