Michael Bradley, Jr 7e550f0e6f build(deps): bump web3[-*] from 1.2.1 to 1.2.4
Refactor typings as necessary. In order for `bignumber.js` in the root
`node_modules` to not conflict with `@types/bignumber.js`, specify
`"bignumber.js": "5.0.0"` in `devDependencies` and `"embark-ui/bignumber.js"`
in `nohoist` of the root `package.json`.

In `packages/plugins/rpc-manager` switch from callback to promise usage with
respect to `web3.eth.accounts.signTransaction` because of a [bug][bug]
discovered in web3 v1.2.4.

In `packages/plugins/solidity-tests` specialize the tsc compiler options with
`"skipLibCheck": true` because of a problematic web3-related typing in the
`.d.ts` files of the remix-tests package.

Bump ganache-cli from 6.4.3 to 6.7.0 (latest) because 6.4.3 doesn't support
`eth_chainId` but web3 1.2.4 makes use of the `eth_chainId` RPC method (EIP
695).

BREAKING CHANGE: bump embark's minimum supported version of parity from
`>=2.0.0` to `>=2.2.1`. This is necessary since web3 1.2.4 makes use of the
`eth_chainId` RPC method (EIP 695) and that parity version is the earliest one
to implement it.

Interacting with contracts in Javascript

Embark will automatically take care of deployment for you and set all needed JS bindings. For example, the contract below:

// app/contracts/simple_storage.sol

contract SimpleStorage {
  uint public storedData;

  function SimpleStorage(uint initialValue) {
    storedData = initialValue;
  }

  function set(uint x) {
    storedData = x;
  }
  function get() constant returns (uint retVal) {
    return storedData;
  }
}

Will automatically be available in Javascript as:

// app/js/index.js

import SimpleStorage from 'Embark/contracts/SimpleStorage';

SimpleStorage.methods.set(100).send();
SimpleStorage.methods.get().call().then(function(value) { console.log(value) });
SimpleStorage.methods.storedData().call().then(function(value) { console.log(value) });

The syntax used is web3.js 1.2.4
