Why: big.Float is not an ideal type for dealing with monetary amounts,
because no matter how high the precision, some non-integer decimal
values can not be represented exactly in base-2 floating point. Also,
storing gob-encoded big.Float values in the database makes it very hard
to use those values in meaningful queries, making it difficult to do
any sort of analysis on billing.
For better accuracy, then, we can just represent monetary values as
integers (in whatever base units are appropriate for the currency). For
example, STORJ tokens or Bitcoins can not be split into pieces smaller
than 10^-8, so we can store amounts of STORJ or BTC with precision
simply by moving the decimal point 8 digits to the right. For USD values
(assuming we don't want to deal with fractional cents), we can move the
decimal point 2 digits to the right.
To make it easier and less error-prone to deal with the math involved, I
introduce here a new type, monetary.Amount, instances of which have an
associated value _and_ a currency.

errs.Class should not contain "error" in the name, since that causes a
lot of stutter in the error logs. As an example a log line could end up
looking like:
ERROR node stats service error: satellitedbs error: node stats database error: no rows
Whereas something like:
ERROR nodestats service: satellitedbs: nodestatsdb: no rows
Would contain all the necessary information without the stutter.

Testing interfaces is slightly clearer when it's in the package needing
the database rather than each individual implementation.

Allow more than 25 coin payment statuses to be queries from coinpayments.net
Add some slight logging, a coinpayments duration metric, and a disabled test
These changes are small changes in support of https://storjlabs.atlassian.net/browse/USR-801
