Support writing numbers as strings for CSV

It would be nice to have a CSV feature similar to JSON feature JsonGenerator.Feature.WRITE_NUMBERS_AS_STRINGS. Enabling of the feature by mapper.enable(JsonGenerator.Feature.WRITE_NUMBERS_AS_STRINGS) doesn’t work for CSV.

I want to write an object of this class:

data class TestData(
        val integer: Int,
        val float: Float
}

as "1","1.234" not as 1,1.234

Hi @cowtowncoder, is this issue still up for grabs? This will be my first issue, and I’m interested in working on it.

@MrBuddyCasino I did not have time to implement this (it was one of top things I’d ideally wanted to have in 2.12 but didn’t quite make it), so would be great to get help here. But if not, then maybe someone else has time, would still like this feature either way. 😃

As to ALWAYS_QUOTE_STRINGS, agreed; if ALWAYS_QUOTE_NUMBERS is enabled, that would mean quoting regardless.
