bug(parser): numeric/bool values from egg Configuration Files are written as strings #213

Description

@BlockMrTii

Problem

When an egg has a Configuration Files entry that sets a numeric (or boolean) value, e.g.:

{
    "bukkit.yml": {
        "parser": "yaml",
        "find": {
            "spawn-limits.monsters": 15
        }
    }
}

15 is defined as an integer in the egg, not a string. However, when the server is created and bukkit.yml is generated, the value is written as a quoted string instead:

spawn-limits:
  monsters: "15"   # actual
  monsters: 15      # expected

This causes issues with servers that expect a real number (or boolean) for these keys, since they receive a string instead.

Reproduction

  1. Use an egg with a Configuration Files entry that sets an integer or boolean value (e.g. spawn-limits.monsters: 15)
  2. Create a new server so the target file (bukkit.yml) is generated for the first time
  3. Result: monsters: "15" is written instead of monsters: 15

Expected behavior

Values defined as numbers/booleans in the egg's configs should be written unquoted in the resulting config file.

Additional context

Possibly related to open PR #194.
