The parameter input box does not parse strings with commas or currency symbols #967

Try changing the parameter in

https://policyengine.org/us/policy?focus=gov.contrib.ubi_center.basic_income.amount.person.flat&reform=40063&region=us&timePeriod=2023&baseline=2

to 1,100. The string is parsed by the app as 1. Now try $11. This is parsed as 0.

Suggestion: We should use InputNumber here, like we do in VariableEditor for households.

We should probably wait to work on this until solving #1001.
