Checkbox: breaking change for value type

[IvanFeric]

Describe the bug

As part of the commit 619c52b that added types to various Checkbox properties, there was a breaking change where the type of value property changed from any to string | object | boolean | undefined | null.

I'm working on upgrading our app to Angular 16 and, because of that, I need to upgrade PrimeNg to 16 as well (OT: I wonder when the non-RC version will arrive). In our app, we have a lot of checkboxes that are based on enum, and the value we're assigning to the value is of that enum type. Our enum has values that are of type number which is not one of the allowed types for the value property. Prior to this change, everything worked correctly while now we can't compile the app without casting the enum value to any.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Create enum type. For example:

enum DayOfWeek {
  Sunday = 0,
  Monday = 1,
  Tuesday = 2,
  Wednesday = 3,
  Thursday = 4,
  Friday = 5,
  Saturday = 6
}

2. Add PrimeNg checkbox with value set to one of the enum values and one checkbox with number value. For example:

<p-checkbox [value]="DayOfWeek.Sunday"></p-checkbox>
<p-checkbox [value]="42"></p-checkbox>

3. Try to compile

Expected behavior

Checkbox control should work with both enum and number values
