1110 class HexUInt

[lucanicoladebiasi]

Description

The code introduces the HexUInt class to represent in hexadecimal notation unsigned integers.
This is the super class of next classes of the VeChain Data Model like Address and Hash.

The class Hex provides the .abs property to get the absolute value as new Hex instance of its value.

The package packages/core/src/utils/hex providing the functional constants Hex, Hex0x and Quantity is removed successfully.

Please, use Hex class and its extensions to deal with hexadecimal expressions of values, prefer the forms -0x... and 0x... in literals.
