Transaction List - Claim update amounts incorrect

The Issue

Currently, an update claim transaction shows the bid amount as the amount of the transaction. Since an update tx takes the previous bid input, funds are moved from the previous claim to the new one, so they aren't really spent during a transaction where the bid is not changed. In this case, it would show 0 and only a fee.

There are also 2 other scenarios to take into account and calculate the transaction amount based on the original bid - a lower bid and higher bid. For a lower bid, you'd have a net positive amount on the update. For a higher bid, you would have a net negative amount.

per @hackrush01, this would be a daemon side fix.

Expected behaviour

Update tx amount should show net positive or negative bid amount

Actual behaviour

Update tx amount shows the bid amount

Sounds like an app side change still needed based on the way it was implemented on the daemon, re opening on app side.
