Add `Symbolic` number constructor and conversion

• fix https://github.com/JuliaSymbolics/SymbolicUtils.jl/issues/601

This pull request adds a constructor and a conversion function for Symbolic objects representing numbers.

Key changes:

• Symbolic constructor:

  • The Symbolic(x::T) where {T<:Number} constructor now creates a Term object from a number x, inferring the type of the Symbolic object from the type of x.
  • The Symbolic{T}(x::Number) where {T} constructor now creates a Term object with the specified type T, converting x to that type if necessary.

• convert function:

  • The convert(::Type{<:Symbolic{T}}, x::Number) where {T} function now converts a number x to a Term object of the specified type T.

• Tests:

  • The test suite now includes tests for the Symbolic constructor and convert function, ensuring correct behavior for various numeric types, including Int, Float64, Rational, and Complex.
  • The test suite also includes a test case demonstrating how the convert function works when assigning a number to an array of Symbolic.

These changes provide a more convenient and flexible way to create and work with symbolic representations of numbers, and hide the internal Symbolic subtype system from external users.

I'm closing this pull request because we've decided to implement the feature using a different approach that will be more efficient and scalable. I'll create a new pull request for this alternative solution soon.
