Fix NumericalityValidator on object responding to `to_f`:

- If you had a PORO that acted like a Numeric, the validator would
  work correctly because it was previously using `Kernel.Float`
  which is implicitely calling `to_f` on the passed argument.

  Since rails/rails@d126c0d , we are now using `BigDecimal` which does
  not implicitely call `to_f` on the argument, making the validator
  fail with an underlying `TypeError` exception.

  This patch replate the `is_decimal?` check with `Kernel.Float`.
  Using `Kernel.Float` as argument for the BigDecimal call has two
  advantages:

  1. It calls `to_f` implicetely for us.
  2. It's also smart enough to detect that `Kernel.Float("a")` isn't a
     Numeric and will raise an error.
     We don't need the `is_decimal?` check thanks to that.

  Passing `Float::DIG` as second argument to `BigDecimal` is mandatory
  because the precision can't be omitted when passing a Float.
  `Float::DIG` is what is used internally by ruby when calling
  `123.to_d`

  https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/ext/bigdecimal/lib/bigdecimal/util.rb#L47

- Another small issue introduced in https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/34693
  would now raise a TypeError because `Regexp#===` will just return
  false if the passed argument isn't a string or symbol, whereas
  `Regexp#match?` will.
