Description
### Command
generate
### Is this a regression?
- [ ] Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version
### The previous version in which this bug was not present was
_No response_
### Description
From http://b/196605664.
Apparently you can't pass in a numeric value into a string argument in schematics. This appears to be interpreted as number and leads to a validation error.
### Minimal Reproduction
```
$ schematics run test --stringValue "1234"
Schematic input does not validate against the Schema: {"stringValue":1234}
Errors:
Data path ".stringValue" should be string.
```
Minimist seems to interpret "1234" as a number instead of a string, and schematics treats that as a type mismatch.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the generate command's option parsing and the minimist handling described in the report, then reproduce the command with --stringValue "1234". Trace where the quoted value becomes a number and verify that numeric-looking values passed to string options reach schema validation as strings.
