Move from TinyBig to BigInt

This is low priority for now. We should wait until BigInt becomes more of an industry standard.

This change is inspired by the recent change in ethers.js to BigInt.

I have started to look into this.

Do we want to upgrade to a new version of TypeScript in the tsconfig.json for this?

I have been playing around with using BigInt and I am running into a ts error when trying to use BigInt literals.
For example:

export function etherToWei(
  etherQuantity: string | number | bigint,
): bigint {
  validateType(etherQuantity, ['string', 'number', 'object']);
  const result = BigInt(etherQuantity) * 1000000000000000000n
  return BigInt(result);
}

throws this ts error:
BigInt literals are not available when targeting lower than ES2020.

We could use the constructor which compiles just fine with our current version of typescript

  const result = BigInt(etherQuantity) * BigInt(1000000000000000000)

Also are we completely deprecating TinyBig and only supporting BigInt?
Like removing the TinyBig and Big inputs from functions?

Let's wait on this with the first priority now being a full refresh of the landing page.

I really like viem.sh and would love your input/shaping of this new website @jtfirek 🙏
