Issue with formatter while running web3.eth.getBlock in web3@1.0.0-beta.29

[subhasisbanik]

In web3-core-helpers/src/formatters.js, line no. 220,
block.timestamp = utils.hexToNumber(block.timestamp);
the conversion from hex to Number throws an error, "Error in parsing....."
To fix this,
block.timestamp = utils.hexToNumberString(block.timestamp);

I think this change should be made into the repo.

@subhasisbanik are you running against JPMorgan's Quorum fork? Or does this happen against the main Ethereum chain?

@subhasisbanik feel free to submit an PR. :)

@nivida I tried to reproduce this bug. But, I think this problem is not with geth or ganache. This can be with Quorum.
