Support enum-like objects with numeric literal values

Problem

TypeDoc already supports enum-like objects with string literal values via #1675 and #1740. However, enum-like objects with numeric literal values are not supported. For the following code example:

// index.d.ts

/**
 * This enumeration defines some values.
 *
 * @enum
 */
export declare const SomeStringLiteralEnum: {
    /**
     * This is the auto property.
     */
    readonly AUTO: "auto";
    /**
     * This is the manual property.
     */
    readonly MANUAL: "manual";
};

/**
 * This enumeration also defines some values.
 *
 * @enum
 */
 export declare const SomeNumericLiteralEnum: {
    /**
     * This is the auto property.
     */
    readonly AUTO: 0;
    /**
     * This is the manual property.
     */
    readonly MANUAL: 1;
};

TypeDoc will document SomeStringLiteralEnum as an enum and SomeNumericLiteralEnum as a variable:

Suggested Solution

Support enum-like objects with numeric literal values in the same way as those with string literal values. I think it would only require some minor changes in src/lib/converter/symbols.ts.

If this is something we'd like to support in TypeDoc, I'd be happy to contribute this feature - I've already done some tinkering in the source code. :)

Seems reasonable to me, PR welcome! :)
