[Bug]: Fake Data transform: Fix "Number" category entries to emit Hop metadata that matches the longs and floats it emits.

[usbrandon]

Apache Hop version?

2.8-ga

Java version?

11

Operating system

Windows

What happened?

I was trying to make some test transforms that would throw known data types and examples at a transform being tested, then realized they were being sent to Hop as "Strings" when their underlying Java type was long and float, and thus Hop will now fail to convert them in Select and other transforms.

The "Number" category in Fake Data needs to emit Hop metadata about the values being emitted.
