Use hex on ledger_getSoftConfirmationStatus

[otaliptus]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

To check if transaction is finalized, one must
a) Get the block number of the transaction from the RPC
b) Use ledger_getSoftConfirmationStatus endpoint to check if the corresponding block is finalized

A tiny problem here is that option a) returns block number in hex, while option b) accepts decimals.
While it's easy to do the conversion, we can unify such usage - or can decide on all endpoints how the usage should be for final.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd probably make this hex or allowing both strings and numbers and then auto-deciding which data type is used

Describe alternatives you've considered
None, it's not something super important.

Which RPC are you using for a ?

[otaliptus]

I useeth_getTransactionByHash or eth_getTransactionReceipt- any better alternatives?

That's a natural flow and should work with hex in line with eth_getBlockByNumber
