Find proper types about lodestar HOT 5 CLOSED

I have been experimenting with how we can enforce these types in typescript here. it's really just a wrapper for BigNumber that enforces size. Still early days but I think a construct like this is achievable and could make our lives easy. It could also be extensible for types like hash32.

These types are not "native" types in any programming language as in most programming languages that are being used for sharding have to check inputs and outputs and define these types themselves. If you look at the ssz codebase (https://github.com/ChainSafeSystems/ssz-js), this is what was done.

Note that hash32, in particular, is effectively bytes but with some caveats. Again, look through the ssz code.

May seem ugly but I think an alias to Array<Boolean> would suffice for a Bits type.

I think we can close this per #62 which is now closed?
