Bugfix/preserve negative numbers in extractNumberFromString

extractNumberFromString() stripped the minus sign together with other
non-numeric characters, so negative values were silently converted to
their positive counterparts (e.g. '-999.99' was parsed as 999.99).

Keep the minus sign in the character allow-list so NumberParser can
correctly parse negative values. This helper is used by the manual data
provider, where a user-configured selector can legitimately point at a
negative number.
