Improve UI gas calculation logic

- Now striping hex prefixed gas values, which may have been causing mis-estimation.
- Unified calculation logic to be entirely functional.
- Greatly simplified how the pending-tx form keeps updated form state.

Still needs a commit from @kumavis to ensure the background passes in a txMeta.txParams.gasPrice value.
