Description

Fixes #16649 by allowing equality with the corresponding numeric values.

The filter value in filters are stored in the string format.
For example: { "year(updated_on)": { "_eq": "2023" } }

Hence when using _eq with year(), it fails validation as 2023 !== '2023'.

Added checks for null, "" and boolean values as such Number(<value>) becomes 0.

Fixes ENG-126
