Profile: Perform numeric analysis on fields with a numeric best_ecl_type

Currently, only fields with a numeric datatype on the original dataset acquire numeric analytics (min, ave, max, std dev, quartiles, etc). A field could be marked as a STRING and contain only numerics, but it will not have the numeric analytics in profile.

This request to provide numeric analytics on fields where a numeric datatype is determined to be the best type. That means that number-filled STRING fields -- which means all fields from a just-sprayed CSV file -- will be processed as numeric.

Implemented in v1.6.0.
