* @name hexToBn
* @summary Creates a BN.js object from a hex string.
* @description
* `null` inputs returns a `BN(0)` result. Hex input values return the actual value converted to a BN. Anything that is not a hex string (including the `0x` prefix) throws an error.
* @param _value The value to convert
* @param _options Options to pass while converting
* @param _options.isLe Convert using Little Endian
* @param _options.isNegative Convert using two's complement
* @example
* <BR>
*
* ```javascript
* import { hexToBn } from '@polkadot/util';
*
* hexToBn('0x123480001f'); // => BN(0x123480001f)
* ```
