Message type Int64 and UInt64 are greater than Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER

See original GitHub issue

The Int64 and UInt64 message type use string as the data property for inside representations. This might not a problem. However, part of numbers in this size are greater than Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER. So the data precision may be lost when delivering a Int64 or UInt64 number from publisher to subscription.
