Describe the bug

There's some unexpected behavior with vm.serializeString.

When using

string memory out = vm.serializeString(key, key, '10000000000000');
vm.writeJson(out, path);

It seems like foundry will automatically convert the string to a number if it looks like a number.
This is somewhat unexpected and it hard to work with consumer languages that don't natively support big numbers.

cc @odyslam just added this to #3801

We also ran into this issue -- we want to write a string value but it's instead written as a number, which the consumer (a geth fork) is unable to parse.

@sakulstra I cannot reproduce this anymore. Feel free to reopen if you encounter this again.
