Title: lib/helpers: fixed is_valid_packet()

This commit introduces following changes:
* Be liberal in what you recieve - do not rely on regexps for packet
parsing but instead accept anything that can be parsed by JavaScript
as a number e.g: +1e-17, -0511, 0xDEADbeef, etc
* Accept both positive and negative counters with explicit / implicit
sign
* Provides more strict error checking then regexp, for example
following strings match previously used '([\-\+\d\.]+' regexp:
.
.123.
.\-+\0\+-.1-

Also while here added more tests.

Closes: #350 #357 #363
