[Management] Number fields accept invalid input

[ElenaStoeva]

While testing #196527, I noticed that different form fields in Kibana Management plugins accept invalid input in number fields.
Examples I noticed:

• Ingest pipelines creation flow - add processor form
• ILM creation flow

I think the e, -, and , characters are allowed by the Eui number field itself and it contains some validation for valid numbers. We should probably add validations from our side for valid numbers as well and not allow submitting the form if the number is invalid.

I’d like to contribute to fixing this by adding validation on our side to ensure only valid numbers are allowed, preventing the form from being submitted with invalid input.

As I'm new to open source development, I'd really appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to get started with this issue. Would it be possible to have this issue assigned to me?

Thank you!

Thanks for expressing interest in fixing this @Prakhar29Sharma! I don't think we have plans on working on this in the near future so I'll go ahead and assign it to you (@alisonelizabeth please let us know if you have any objections).

Regarding guidelines for contributing to Kibana, I would suggest starting with these docs.

@ElenaStoeva, I think this is the internal documentation. If I'm not mistaken, for external contributors the right documentation is the one in the elastic page: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/contributing.html

@SoniaSanzV you're right, appologies for the confusion!
