Assess support for schema attribute "number" type

[ahayes]

It would be nice to support a "number" type for schema attributes and store them as JSON number values instead of strings to better integrate with other data sources. The level of effort to implement support throughout Nunaliit should be assessed. Of the top of my head, I am imagining the following components possibly needing some work to support:

• nunaliit command's update-schema functionality that parses schema definitions
• form template functionality and possibly use of HTML "number" input type
• other renderings including brief and display if any special handling is required
• tree view and editor view
• schema builder tool
• search indexing

search indexing

This is done for existing fields by turning them into a string. Otherwise, it doesn't seem too valuable for any number field to be searchable.
