Syntax error when using PHP 7.4, due to use of union type.

[farez]

Describe the bug

The union type float|int in the function definition of Filter::numberFilter() is flagged as a syntax error, when using PHP 7.4.

Union types are only valid in PHP8.0 and above, but PHP 7.4 is being supported in composer.json.

To Reproduce
Call Filter::numberFilter() while using PHP 7.4.

Expected behavior
There should not be a syntax error.

Exceptions
This works fine in PHP8.0. So maybe remove all use of union types or make PHP8.0 the minimum requirement?

Additional context
None.

You're totally right. We will remove the union types for now, as long as 7.4 is still getting security updates, and fix this in the next patch release.
Thank you!
