fix(ngCookie): convert non-string values to string
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Previously, non-string values stored in $cookies would be removed, without warning the user, and
causing difficulty debugging. Now, the value is converted to string before being stored, and the
value is not dropped. Serialization may be customized using the toString() method of an object's
prototype.

Closes angular#6151
