Re: [w3c/IndexedDB] Track ES BigInt work (#230)

It's a disaster that we cannot use BigInt's as keys, however, we can use a left-padded string instead.

This should maintain numerical ordering when using `IDBKeyRange` etc.

```
const NUM_DIGITS = 20; // increase if larger numbers are possible
const key_str = `${key_bigint}`.padStart(NUM_DIGITS, "0");
```

I'm not sure what the performance implications are with using strings here, but it's better than the alternative of not being able to use IndexedDB at all.
