Bug fix for merchant_amount in ASA and transactions

We deployed a bug fix for the merchant_amount field that appears in ASA requests and the transaction object. The merchant amount represents the authorization amount for the transaction in the transaction's local currency, inclusive of any acquirer fees (e.g., an ATM fee). Previously, acquirer fees were included twice in the merchant amount for certain non-USD transactions. With this change, the merchant amount will accurately reflect the overall amount of the transaction in its local currency.
