Allow ability parameter to accept integer type

[jeffersongoncalves]

In this project, we use integer values ​​in the gate.

[erikn69]

$ability should not be int according to the docs,
you should cast those ints to strings

DOCS: https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/authorization#intercepting-gate-checks
PHPDOC Source: Illuminate/Auth/Access/Gate.php#L428

The problem is that the method signature doesn't specify a string, only the PHPDoc for the method.

Since the value in GateCollector.php is typed as a string, this caused the problem, which led to a PR request to add the int type. This is because the Laravel Gate core itself doesn't have the string value fixed in its $ability.

Gate->define allows string or UnitEnums: Illuminate/Auth/Access/Gate.php#L203

I don't think we need to be stricter then Laravel, we want to avoid triggering errors on anything that we can do in Laravel, even it's not totally correct
