Instability in return type of PlutoUI.Slider

[NitishGadangi]

issue description:
The return type of PlutoUI.Slider is Int64 in few instances and Float64 in few instances

expected behavior:
the return type must be stable

remarks
right now, the possible workaround is using Float64(var) or Int64(var) where ever required. But, it is not ideal to explicitly type Float64 everywhere.

(This has the the same solution as #25 and #21 )

Can you elaborate on the solution @fonsp ? It isn't clear from the comments in the other issues. What is happening that is making the slider type unstable? I looked into the source and couldn't spot a reason.

To be clear, there is no solution yet, but it would be solved by #25.

The problem is that JavaScript is sending the slider values, but JS only has one Number type (Float64 I think). Based on whether the slider value is rounded or not, it sends an integer or float, causing this problem.

#25 would circumvent these issues because
