Describe the bug

#4124 (fixed by a5578ac) makes the table now call the global filter functions for strings and numbers.

However, most of the built-in filter functions don't handle numbers, they assume the value is a string (https://github.com/TanStack/table/blob/main/packages/table-core/src/filterFns.ts)

This makes it very liable to break (e.g. auto filter does includesString, which breaks on toLowerCase). The workaround is easy - provide a custom filter function for numeric columns or exclude them from the filtering.

It would be nicer if the default filter functions handled numbers

Your minimal, reproducible example

https://nyxdj8.sse.codesandbox.io

Steps to reproduce

1. Type "a" in the global filter
2. See Uncaught TypeError: _row$getValue.toLowerCase is not a function in the console (filtering doesn't complete)

Expected behavior

The default filter functions should handle numbers by default
