Parse decimals as password from environment variable overrides correctly. Prior to this change, config values for passwords are not allowed to be decimals. e.g. EMQX_FOOBAR__PASSWORD=12344 or emqx.foobar.password=1234 would result in a type check error, unless quoted as: EMQX_FOOBAR__PASSWORD='"12344"' or emqx.foobar.password="1234". After this fix, the value does not have to be quoted.
