Wrong data type for postgresql::server::config_entry::value

[smoeding]

Describe the Bug

PostgreSQL has a couple of parameters that take a floating point value (see https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/runtime-config-query.html for example). These parameters can't be managed any more as postgresql::server::config_entry::value can only be a String or an Integer after commit 655ac5e.

Expected Behavior

We should be able to manage parameters needing a Float value. The data type for config should probably include Float (or Numeric as a replacement for Integer).

Steps to Reproduce

Use the following snippet in your manifest:

postgresql::server::config_entry { 'random_page_cost':
  value => 4.0,
}

Environment

• Version 7.24.0
• Platform Debian 11

Hey @smoeding,
