deps: import BN directly from bn.js instead of through ethereumjs-util

[legobeat]

Explanation

Legacy ethereumjs-util is used primarily for two things: its re-exported bn.js instance and a handful of bytes/hex/string utility functions.

This removes the first category by importing BN directly from bn.js instead of via ethereumjs-util.

The version is the same. No user-facing changes.
