fix(ngCookie): convert non-string values to string

Previously, non-string values stored in $cookies would be removed, without warning the user, and
causing difficulty debugging. Now, the value is converted to string before being stored, and the
value is not dropped. Serialization may be customized using the toString() method of an object's
prototype.

Closes #6151
