Numbers in the data couldn't be used as sets. This came up as an issue when configuring metric extraction rules, especially since setting a number as a tag would implicitly convert the value to a string and make the set work. Adds the extraction for numbers as well, but convert them to a string first, this allows for consistent sets across tags and data as well better behaviour for users.
