Consider adding support for Number object for value property

Description
The docs on the web site indicate the type of the "value" option is "Number". However, a quick look at the source shows that it's looking for "number" via typeof. It would be great if some more flexible data type support was added.

Why are you using Number objects in the first place?
Well, I'm not :-) However, a friend of mine was and after finding out why his progress bar was reverting to a value of zero, I thought it reasonable to assume that some people might have a case to use them. I also think it's reasonable to assume that values might be fed into this component from other libraries which utilize Number objects - in which case it would be necessary to intervene and perform a type conversion.

In general jQuery and jQuery UI do not explicitly handle the object versions of primitives like strings and numbers.

In that case, consistency rules and I agree. Thanks for providing the best js lib on the planet!
