Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
The current numeric controls only support `Int32` and `Decimal`. This can be limiting when working with values that exceed the `Int32` range or when floating-point semantics are more appropriate than `Decimal`.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Add dedicated `Int64` (`long`) and `Double` (`double`) UpDown controls, complementing the existing controls:
| Already supported | Control | C# Type | Typical Use Cases |
|---|---|---|---|
| ✅ | `NumericUpDown` | `int` | Counts, quantities, indexes, IDs |
| ❌ | `LongUpDown` | `long` | Large IDs, file sizes, timestamps, large counters |
| ✅ | `DecimalUpDown` | `decimal` | Money, prices, tax rates, financial calculations |
|❌| `DoubleUpDown` | `double` | Scientific measurements, engineering values, coordinates, floating-point calculations |

Research direction
Start by examining the existing NumericUpDown and DecimalUpDown controls to understand how the current numeric controls are structured and tested. Add dedicated controls for Int64 (long) and Double (double), and verify that both support the use cases described in the issue while complementing the existing controls.
