The old float validation had several bugs. It will recognize strings
like "a1.2" and "3.4b" as valid doubles, but will not recognize integers
like "1234" as doubles. Also, since an empty string is not falsy in Ruby,
it will recognize "Inf" as -Infinity.
This commit fixes these issues
Validation of `user_id` parameter will throw a 500 error because
`User.find_by_username_or_email` does not throw
`ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound`, but silently returns `nil`.
This results in a `NoMethodError` in `object.id` on the next line
What's the problem?
===================
TL;DR: When the user enters an incorrect default value, its
corresponding param-input will disappear
When creating a parameter from SQL, we perform cast_to_ruby, which means
that if the default value given by the user is invalid, the entire
parameter will not be added to the param_list of the query.
This behavior is very confusing, and users will not understand why an
incorrect initial value will cause the param-input to disappear.
What's the fix?
================
The cast_to_ruby process is canceled in create_from_sql, so that
param-input with incorrect default value will still be displayed.
We have a simple validation process on the front end, which is enough to
prompt whether some default inputs are incorrect.
We used `with_deleted` incorrectly in the code. This method does not exist
on `User`, `Badge`, and `Group`. This will cause an error when entering a
numeric id in these three parameter input, forcing the user to enter the
name/username of these inputs.

This commit updates the plugin to the latest guidelines, as shown in
discourse-plugin-skeleton, which involves moving a lot of the code to
dedicated files, use proper namespaces, use the autoloader as much as
possible, etc.
