Return all _seq values as strings not integers
----------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-956
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-956
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Robert Newson
Some fields are returned as strings in db_info and other places to protect
against numeric overflow;
{"db_name":"db","doc_count":0,"doc_del_count":0,"update_seq":0,"purge_seq":0,"compact_running":false,"disk_size":79,"instance_start_time":"1290088043619158","disk_format_version":5,"committed_update_seq":0}
here, instance_start_time is protected but, more critically, update_seq is not.
If update_seq were to be wrapped due to precision issues, what breaks?
