COUNTERS_DB numeric counters are treated as string_val #27

SONiC's gNMI telemetry treats numerical data in COUNTERS_DB as string_val, but shouldn't it be treated as int_val? SONiC's Redis may treat the number as a String type, but shouldn't the gNMI target treat it as an int_val and return it to the gNMI client?

This is why I am facing problems with interoperability with gNMI client (gnmi-gateway).

Is this issue still relevant?
